Questions
Find answers to common questions buyers ask about closing.
Title insurance protects you against claims to your property that may arise after closing. It's a one-time premium that covers legal fees and potential losses from title defects.
Most closings happen within 30 to 45 days from the time you go under contract. The exact timeline depends on your lender, the title search, and any issues that come up during the process.
Escrow is when a neutral third party holds your earnest money and other funds until closing. We ensure all conditions are met before releasing those funds to the seller.
