In a series of short blog posts we will explore some things about our work here at Bergmann Law that many of our clients were surprised to learn. Maybe you’ll be pleasantly surprised as well.

So… did you know…hiring a good real estate attorney means you might not have to attend closing?

Closings can be tough. Often scheduled in the middle of the day, it can take a lot of time on a day when things are already hectic and stressful. Perhaps it’s also moving day and your furniture, new house or storage unit are all that’s on your mind. Maybe you are moving in and just want to get your keys already!

This isn’t possible for all clients, especially buyers whose lenders often require attendance at closing, but in the event of a smooth transaction and a cooperative team of real estate professionals, the number of clients we have been able to close through the mail is on the rise.

We can often have closing documents sorted and in the hands of the title company in advance, meaning you don’t have to sit at the closing table drinking bad coffee, eating stale cookies and making painful small talk.

So, are you closing on a property and want to find out how we can make the process as painless as possible? Give us a call.
