Your Trusted Partner in Residential Real Estate Closings

At Griffin & Schaefer P.A., we understand that buying or selling a home is one of the most significant financial transactions in a person’s life.

Title Examination: Ensuring a Secure Investment

Our meticulous title examination process is designed to protect buyers from unforeseen legal issues that may arise after the transaction is complete. We leave no stone unturned, thoroughly reviewing property records, survey reports, and other essential documents to guarantee clear and marketable title. This attention to detail ensures that our clients can invest in their new property with confidence, free from any hidden encumbrances or claims.

Facilitating the Closing Process

The closing process is the culmination of a real estate transaction, and our role is crucial in facilitating it smoothly. We take pride in our ability to draft necessary documents, such as contracts and agreements, to formalize the deal. This step not only ensures legal compliance but also provides clarity and transparency for all parties involved.

From coordinating with real estate agents to liaising with lenders, our team ensures that everyone is on the same page, reducing the risk of misunderstandings and delays.
