I so enjoy getting to help people take that final step to home ownership. It is a journey that feels like a marathon to most homeowners, and it is. Often they don’t see the flurry of behind the scenes activity on the parts of the Closing Attorney, the Realtor, and the Mortgage Lender that is going on at the same time to help get them across the finish line, but we are here to help!

If you are buying or selling a home, having a Closing Attorney that you can speak directly to with questions is extremely important.

As a closing attorney I represent you and your best interests.

If your closing is not being handled by an experienced attorney, who is available to you, then you should ask why not.

10/14/2021

I can think of no greater honor than having clients who trust me time and again to handle their real estate closing transactions.
Congrats again Mr S.

"What do you mean I don't get the keys to my new home at the Closing?"

When does the buyer get keys to their new home? Getting possession is super important to your buyers. Use this resource to help make sure they are educated about the closing process and when to truly expect their keys.

https://www.jeremiahmcguire.com/post/what-do-you-mean-i-don-t-get-the-keys-to-my-new-home-at-the-closing

One of the most frequent questions we as Closing Attorneys are asked is "When will I get the keys to my new home?" The answer, "When the closing is complete." But that may not mean what the Buyer thinks it means. In the past, the Buyer and their Lender funded the closing ahead of time and the Buyer....

Why does my Deed look like I bought a house for $10?

Why does a Deed say "for $10 and other good and valuable consideration?" Let's look into this more.

https://www.jeremiahmcguire.com/post/why-does-my-deed-look-like-i-bought-a-house-for-10

As a closing attorney I get asked this question all the time. So, let's clear up this mystery. To start with, here is the magic language (or very similar to how it is in your area): "That for and in consideration of ten dollars ($10.00), cash in hand paid, and other good and valuable considerations,...

Wire Transfer vs. Cashier's Check

The question we hear every day: "Why must I wire my money for closing and I cannot bring a Personal Check or Cashier's Check?"

I hope this article can be helpful to anyone who reads it. Please feel free to share with friends or clients!



https://www.jeremiahmcguire.com/post/wire-transfer-vs-cashier-s-check

It's almost time to close on your first home and you are told that you will have to bring money "to the table" (the closing table that is) in order to close. You need to send money via Wire Transfer to ensure that the Closing Attorney gets it as soon as possible.
