Questions

What buyers and sellers ask us.

If your question isn't here, call. We'd rather answer it a week out than on closing morning.

Ask us directly
Do I need an attorney to close in Virginia?
Virginia allows non-attorney settlement agents, but only an attorney can advise you on the contract, the deed, or a title defect. With us, a lawyer is already on your file at no separate charge for that judgment.
Do I have to buy an owner's title policy?
No, but we recommend it. The lender's policy protects the lender's loan amount, not your equity, and the owner's premium is a one-time cost you never renew.
Can I close if I'm out of state or deployed?
Yes. Mail-away and remote signings are routine here. Tell us early so we can prepare the package and arrange notarization.
When do I get keys or proceeds?
On a purchase, after the deed records and funds disburse, usually the same day in Virginia. Seller proceeds wire the same day when initiated before our cutoff.
What does a closing cost?
It depends on the price, the loan, and the locality's recording taxes. Send us the contract and we'll give you a written estimate before you commit.
