“They knew I was in a time crunch since my builder had my project delayed for months so they made sure they had everything organized before I came in to sign so it was quick and efficient.”Tanya S. · Google review

Closing here, from wherever you are.
Selling the Connecticut house after a move. Buying near family from three time zones away. Handling an out-of-state closing is ordinary work for us, and distance doesn't have to make it harder for you.
Who does what, and where.
Your side of an out-of-state closing is smaller than most people expect. Here's how the work divides.
Send the paperwork electronically.
The contract, payoff details, whatever your file needs. Almost everything moves by email and secure upload.
We run the file where the property is.
Title work ordered and reviewed early, contingencies tracked, the lender and the other side coordinated. You get a status update every week.
Sign where your file allows.
Sellers can often sign remotely when it's needed. Buyers usually sign in person on closing day; wet-ink documents are the norm on purchases. Either way, we handle the identity verification that many closings now require.
We prepare and run the closing.
Documents prepared, figures reconciled, the closing conducted here, recording handled after.
Confirm the money with us, directly.
We confirm wire instructions with you before any funds move. An emailed "change of instructions" gets a phone call, never a transfer.
We coordinate the funds.
Wires verified and coordinated with the lender and the parties, so the money moves once, correctly.
Buying and selling are different trips.
One of these is usually simpler than the other. Worth knowing before you book anything.
Buying
Plan to be here on closing day.
- Residential purchases typically require wet-ink signatures the day of closing, so plan to be in or near Connecticut
- Remote buyer closings are the exception, and on a financed purchase some lenders require approval first
- Raise it with us at the start and we plan the signing around what's possible
Selling
Usually the simpler path.
- Remote signing arranged when the file needs it
- We resolve title items on the seller's side before closing day
- Proceeds wired per instructions we confirm with you directly
Distance changes the logistics. It shouldn't change what you know.Out-of-state closings · Mancuso Carey
Long-distance questions.
The ones we hear from out-of-state clients.
Do I have to travel in for the closing?
Sellers often don't: remote signing can usually be arranged when it's needed. Buyers should plan differently. Residential purchases typically require wet-ink signatures on closing day, so unless you're in or near Connecticut, plan to attend. On a financed purchase, some lenders also require approval before any remote closing. Raise it with us early either way.
How is my money protected across the distance?
We confirm wire instructions with you directly before any funds move. Wire fraud targets exactly this kind of transaction, so treat any emailed change of instructions as suspect and call us first.
Do you handle Massachusetts property too?
Yes. The firm also practices in Massachusetts. All four offices are in Connecticut, and we handle the transaction whether the property is in Connecticut or Massachusetts.
Who do I talk to while I'm far away?
A primary attorney stays on your file, and you get a status update every week, so distance never means silence. More on that: how we work.
