FAQ
Common questions
This describes how the firm generally works and is not legal advice. What applies to your matter depends on its specifics. For advice on your situation, contact us.
Does the firm handle residential or commercial real estate matters?
We handle both residential and commercial matters. The firm represents buyers, sellers and lenders. We draft and negotiate contracts, perform title and lien searches, and provide total support throughout closing and financing. The firm is also highly experienced with SBA loans.
From signed contract to closing, what is a typical timeline?
It depends on what the contract says. A number of items have to be cleared that are not within the firm’s control, since third parties supply them: liens, title commitments, bank commitments and the like. The firm works to make the closing happen as quickly as possible.
Can closings be handled remotely, by mail, or with a mobile notary, including when a buyer or seller is out of the country?
Yes. Almost all of the firm’s closings are done remotely. Jessica Ruiz Martinez and Pablo Lopez coordinate throughout the process, including for buyers and sellers who are out of the country.
What does the title search process involve?
A thorough search of the public record to confirm clear, insurable title, surfacing undisclosed liens, easements, or other encumbrances. Issues found are addressed before closing rather than after, and the firm coordinates with lenders, agents, and other counsel throughout.
How far ahead of a closing should someone order title work?
The firm usually orders title work as soon as all deposits have been received, so anything the search turns up can be cleared well before the closing date.
How are closing fees structured, and who typically pays them?
Buyers pay for certain costs and sellers pay for others, and which party pays what is usually set by the purchase contract. Call the office for a breakdown of closing costs on your transaction.
What should I have ready for a real estate consultation?
If you have them, the purchase or sale contract, your closing or financing deadlines, lender contact information, and any title commitment, survey, or association documents are useful. If you are earlier in the process, the firm can still help you plan the transaction.
What happens after I contact the firm?
A member of the firm reviews your submission and follows up to discuss the transaction and next steps. Sending the form does not create an attorney-client relationship, so please do not include confidential details until the firm has confirmed it can represent you. Services are available in English and Spanish.
