Courtesy and Witness Closings in Gladwin, MI

What are Courtesy and Witness Closings?

Courtesy and witness closings refer to the process of conducting real estate closings on behalf of out-of-area title companies or legal representatives. These services are often used when a real estate transaction is taking place remotely, and the buyer, seller, or lender cannot be physically present at the closing. A courtesy closing typically involves facilitating the signing of documents, while a witness closing requires an official witness to be present to verify the authenticity of the signatures.

We also ensure that the paperwork is filed correctly with the necessary parties, such as county recorders, lenders, or title companies, making sure the transaction complies with all local real estate laws.
