Services for Individuals and Businesses

In Connecticut, an attorney is required to represent the legal interests of the lender, the buyer and the seller.  While the same attorney may represent the lender and the buyer, a separate attorney is needed to represent the seller.  In addition, the buyer's attorney will act as the title agent, examine the title to the property, and issue a title commitment and the final title policies.  While there are numerous attorneys to choose from, they are not all the same.

At Closing Management, LLC our attorneys specialize in real estate.  We do more than draft documents and watch as you sign them.  We are able to offer you the advice and counsel that comes from years experience protecting our client's interests in one of the largest transactions of their lives.

We represent buyers, sellers, mortgage brokers, mortgage lenders and relocation companies from around the country in all of the details of their real estate closings, including:

• Prepare and negotiate all of the terms of the purchase contract.
• Assist with the terms and issues of new construction and builder contracts.
• Clear encumbrances affecting the marketability of title.
• Close conventional loans, government loans, such as FHA and CHFA, down payment assistance loans, construction financing and specialty loan products.
• Serve as settlement agent and escrow agent for documents and closing funds.
• Interface with Qualified Intermediary to complete 1031 Exchanges.
• File deeds, disburse funds and distribute documents.

We are able to offer a high quality of service by offering our clients the extras.  Closing Management, LLC has a progressive organization similar to the title companies used in escrow states; offering the same types of service and more.

If you are a buyer or seller just starting the process and need advice and guidance, contact us.  Our attorneys and staff can offer assistance with a number of your decisions including referrals to mortgage brokers and lenders, realtors and home inspectors. 

If you are a real estate agent or mortgage officer doing business in Connecticut we offer a comprehensive closing package aimed to service your customer.  If you are a relocation provider transferring employees in or out of Connecticut we are modeled after the title companies you are used to dealing with in the other areas of the country.  We are your one stop to closing; including legal advice with contracts, title clearance, assistance with equity buyouts and more.

If you choose Closing Management, LLC to handle your closing, we will strive to make it easy and convenient for you.  Depending on your closing program and availability we offer travel services to close at your realtor's office, mortgage broker's office or even your office or home.  We will coordinate the tasks and details of your closing to ensure the smoothest transaction possible.  Even if you are just starting the process of looking for a new home or refinancing your mortgage, Closing Management, LLC can help you.  Please contact us.
