We will guide you from your offer to purchase, drafting of contracts and inspection issues all the way through the mortgage and closing process. For decades, Attorney Taylor has worked closely with real estate agents, mortgage lenders, and home inspectors to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. If you are a first-time homebuyer, we will explain in detail the requirements for homeowners’ insurance, title insurance, and inspection issues. We work closely with our clients to review in detail all real estate closing disclosures and requirements so that you are confident that you understand and can be confident in the closing process. Jessica Mineo, who is our real estate paralegal, will also work closely with you to obtain documents necessary for the mortgage process and is great at answering any questions you may have.
