Likely hold your Earnest Money Deposit(EMD)
Review the property in land records to ensure it is free of liens or other encumbrances
Prepare the title commitment and closing protection letter for your lender
Collect all fees associated with your purchase and compile them on your final settlement statement
Have your deed prepared
Coordinate your closing time and location
After Closing
After you sign all of your documents confirming your purchase we will:
Send all required documents to your lender
Transfer title of the property to you by recording your deed and any other documents with the relevant county
Disburse the funds associated with your purchase(Realtor commissions, taxes, sellers proceeds, etc.)
Send you a digital copy of all of your documents to the email you provide
Issue you your owner’s title insurance policy and email it to you
