A smooth real estate closing is the goal whenever you buy or sell a home. However, small missteps can create frustrating delays. If you need a mobile real estate lawyer, you can trust us. We’ll help you avoid these common issues, so you can keep your transaction on track.
One of the biggest reasons closings get delayed is because of title problems. Unpaid taxes, outstanding liens, errors in public records, and boundary disputes can all pop up during a title search. Reach out to your mobile real estate lawyer early on in the buying process, so any title issues can be identified and taken care of before closing day arrives.
Another frequent issue we see is missing or incomplete documentation. As a buyer or a seller, you must provide specific paperwork prior to closing, such as loan documents, insurance information, signed disclosures, etc. If even one document is missing, this can lead to a postponed closing. We ask that you stay organized and respond quickly to our requests for documentation throughout the buying or selling process.
Financing problems can also delay real estate closings. For example, new credit inquiries, changes in employment, or the late submission of financial documents can slow down loan approval. Avoid making major financial changes prior to closing and communicate with your lender to make sure all conditions are met on time.
Ultimately, our role as your mobile real estate lawyer is to make sure your closing goes smoothly. For more information about how we can help, contact our office today.
