Title Companies vs. Lawyers

Choosing a title company or attorney to close or settle on your home is a choice that you will eventually have to make, roughly a couple days after the contract becomes ratified. There is a big difference between these two choices. Choosing an attorney to close the deal for you means that you will be receiving legal representation and advice. When you use a title company, they are generally cheaper; however they do the same exact job and have the same exact outcomes that the closing attorney will have. Title companies save you money and time, but they do not offer legal advice or legal protection for future problems.

We have an affiliate relationship with Eastern Title Company. They are located on the second floor in the same building as GSH Real Estate Corporate (fourth floor). We also have an excellent relationship with them, which enables us to keep on top of any situation that arises with your real estate transaction. However, we do understand that people have pre-determined relationships with a past attorney or title company and have no problems entertaining and following through with whatever your final choice may be.
