Real Estate Services – Legal Expertise.

Title companies employ escrow agents, who are licensed by the state to close real estate transactions, and not much else. Attorneys, on the other hand, can practice in a much broader range of areas. A closing attorney is acting as the escrow agent, so he is not the attorney for any particular person. The closing attorney represents the transaction, really; his job is to make sure the deal gets done correctly and on schedule. He acts in no one’s best interest and in everyone’s. A closing attorney, therefore, can bring in his legal expertise to help make your closing happen, even if he can’t offer specific legal advice to any one person. Drawing on his knowledge and experience of other areas of the law relating to real estate, a closing attorney will get the closing done quickly, efficiently, and correctly.

When you put these two advantages together, you see that you can save money by using a closing attorney, and you get the added benefit of the attorney’s legal expertise. In short, it costs you less to have the attorney at your closing than it would be to not have one there. Where else in the world can you save money by using an attorney?
