Process

Contract to closing,
in plain English.

If you've never worked with a real estate attorney before, here's what the process looks like with us. Most residential transactions close within 30 to 60 days from a signed contract.

  1. Step 01

    Contract review.

    Before you sign anything, we review the purchase and sale agreement. We flag issues, negotiate changes, and explain every clause in plain English.

  2. Step 02

    Title search.

    We examine the full ownership history. If we find liens, encumbrances, or boundary issues, we work to resolve them before they delay your closing.

  3. Step 03

    Mortgage coordination.

    We communicate directly with your lender to review loan documents, confirm figures, and keep funding on track. No last-minute surprises.

  4. Step 04

    Closing day.

    We prepare and review every document, walk you through what you're signing, and handle the recording and disbursement of funds. Organized, clear, stress-free.

Common questions

Frequently asked.

Four questions we answer most often. If yours isn't here, ask us. We respond the same day.

Do I need a lawyer to buy a house in Connecticut? +
Connecticut is an "attorney state," which means an attorney is required to be involved in real estate closings. Your attorney reviews the contract, performs the title search, prepares closing documents, and ensures the transaction is legally sound. Having your own attorney, rather than relying on the lender's counsel, means someone is looking out specifically for your interests.
How much does a real estate closing attorney cost in CT? +
Fees vary depending on the type and complexity of the transaction. We offer transparent, flat-fee pricing for most residential transactions so you know exactly what to expect. Contact us for a quote specific to your situation.
What does a title search cover? +
A title search examines the full chain of ownership for a property. We look for outstanding liens, unpaid taxes, easements, boundary disputes, and anything else that could affect your legal right to the property. If an issue comes up, we work to resolve it before closing.
How long does a real estate closing take in Connecticut? +
Most residential closings take between 30 and 60 days from the signed purchase agreement. The timeline depends on factors like mortgage approval, title search results, and how quickly all parties respond to requests. Having an attorney involved early helps keep things on schedule.
