Real Estate Closing Attorneys vs. Title Companies
When purchasing a home, one of the decisions you’ll need to make is whether to hire a real estate closing attorney or a title company. You might be tempted to go with a title company, thinking it will save you money, but consider the following questions:
- Are you on a budget? Attorneys can represent their clients in sales negotiations, helping to ensure they receive the best possible value.
- Do you have your eye on the seller’s appliances or furniture? An attorney can draft a bill of sale for personal property, along with other legal documents such as contract amendments and occupancy agreements.
- Are you concerned about protecting your investment? Unlike title companies, attorneys can offer their clients legal advice, thereby helping to protect their interests both now and in the future.
This is all in addition to providing the same services as a title company—namely, issuing title insurance, holding escrow, and drafting mortgages, deeds, and releases.
Plus, hiring an attorney for your house closing likely won’t cost you much more than a title company would. In Florida, title insurance rates are set by statute, so real estate closing attorneys don’t have the option to charge a higher amount. Attorneys and title companies also tend to charge approximately the same amount for settlement and closing fees.
