An escrow closer manages the final stage of a real estate transaction. They collect and verify all required documents, coordinate with all parties involved — buyer, seller, lender, and real estate agents — and ensure that funds are properly distributed at the time of closing. Katie Kobe, our licensed Escrow Closer at the Clayton office, handles these responsibilities with expertise and care.

Title insurance protects homeowners and lenders from financial losses due to defects in a property's title — such as outstanding liens, errors in public records, or undisclosed heirs. Most lenders require lender's title insurance, and an owner's policy is strongly recommended to protect your investment. Our team can walk you through the right coverage for your transaction.

The title and escrow process typically takes 30–45 days from the time the purchase contract is executed, depending on the complexity of the transaction and how quickly all parties provide necessary documents. Our team works diligently to meet your closing date and will keep you informed every step of the way.

Typically, you'll need a government-issued photo ID, any documents requested by your lender, and your method of payment for closing costs (usually a certified or cashier's check, or wire transfer). Our team will send you a detailed checklist ahead of your closing date so you know exactly what to bring.
