What Services we perform

We are responsible for conducting the title examination of the property, ensuring that the deed of conveyance and the loan documents have been properly prepared and executed, that the closing funds are properly received and disbursed pursuant to the HUD-1 Settlement Statement to be prepared by us and reviewed by you at or prior to closing, that the map of survey (if one is required) is ordered and reviewed by us prior to closing, that the transaction is properly closed and the deed and deed of trust are duly recorded and that the owners’ and lender’s policies of title insurance are issued and delivered in proper form.  We will furnish payoffs of the outstanding liens, along with cancellation of lien instructions to the proper creditors, however, in the event the creditor does not comply with our cancellation instructions we will not pursue the creditor without being further retained by the Buyer or Seller. 

We will not act as escrow agent for the purpose of holding money for repairs or any other problems which are to be resolved after the closing.  It has been our experience that holding money in escrow for post closing issues frequently leads to greater dispute and lawsuits.  Your best course of action is to resolve these issues prior to closing.
