Randall, Page & Bruch, P.C. – Attorneys at Law

Virginia Real Estate Settlement Attorney

When you are ready to make your home buying dreams come true, or if you are prepared to say goodbye and move on to a new chapter with a new home, the Virginia real estate settlement attorneys at Randall, Page & Bruch, P.C., are here.

What is a Real Estate Settlement?

After the lengthy process of putting your home up for sale or finally finding the home of your dreams, all parties come together to finalize the sale. For the seller, the settlement means contracts and documents are signed, and payment is made. For the buyer, this is an especially exciting time. Buyers put their funds in escrow and get the keys to their new home. Everyone comes together to sign the closing documents and walks away with what they negotiated. Third parties, like real estate wholesalers, are also paid at closing. A Virginia real estate settlement attorney oversees and ensures everything goes smoothly.

Settlement attorneys are neutral. They are charged with making sure all parties are in compliance with Virginia state law. Typically, the buyer chooses the settlement attorney. When you take into consideration that purchasing a home is one of the most significant transactions you will ever make, it is also a good idea to have a non-neutral attorney look for your best interests. Randall, Page & Bruch, P.C. real estate attorneys in Virginia, will have your sole interest in mind at closing.
