Buying or selling your home can be a confusing and daunting process. Our clients come to us with a lot of questions. We just made or accepted an offer, what is next? What are contingency clauses and how do they protect me? Does the closing attorney represent me and my interest? What is Title V and do I need it? What are closing costs and how do I pay for them? What is title insurance? Do I need an owner's title insurance policy? What can I expect during this process?
