Typical closing process

While each matter is unique, a typical residential closing may follow these steps:

1. Contract review – Review the purchase agreement, explain terms and contingencies, and identify risks.
2. Title and legal checks – Confirm that the property is legally clear and ready for transfer; address title or legal issues where needed.
3. Coordination and preparation – Work with the lender, real estate agent, and all parties to prepare for closing.
4. Closing day – Guide the client through signing all required documents, help explain what is being signed, and confirm that the transaction is properly completed and recorded.

Guirado Law focuses on making the process clear so that clients close with confidence.

What does a closing attorney do?

A closing attorney manages the legal side of a transaction from contract to closing. This typically includes:

• Reviewing the purchase agreement
• Conducting or reviewing the title search
• Resolving identified legal or title issues
• Coordinating with the lender and real estate agent
• Preparing and reviewing closing documents

Their role is to help ensure that the transaction is legally sound and that ownership is properly transferred and protected.

When should I contact a real estate attorney?

It is generally best to contact a real estate attorney as soon as your offer is accepted—or earlier, before you sign a purchase agreement. Early involvement allows the attorney to review contracts, identify risks, and guide you from the start.

Waiting until later in the process may limit your options if issues arise.

Can you review my purchase agreement before I sign?

Yes. Reviewing a purchase agreement before signing is one of the most important steps in the homebuying process. An attorney can identify unfavorable terms, explain contingencies, and help ensure your rights are protected before you commit.

What happens on closing day?

On closing day, final documents are signed, funds are transferred, and ownership of the property is officially transferred to the buyer. The attorney helps guide the client through the signing process, explains key documents, and works to confirm that everything is completed accurately.

Once the transaction is finalized and recorded, the buyer typically receives the keys to the property.

How much does a real estate attorney cost in Massachusetts?

The cost of a real estate attorney in Massachusetts can vary based on the complexity of the transaction and the services required. Some attorneys may charge a flat fee for standard residential closings, while additional work can affect the total cost.

Specific pricing and fee arrangements are determined directly with the firm and can depend on the details of the matter.

The firm understands that buying a first home can feel overwhelming, so the attorney focuses on:

• Explaining each step of the process from offer to closing
• Reviewing and explaining contracts and closing documents
• Answering questions in clear, straightforward language
• Helping clients understand what they are signing and why

Approach to working with first-time buyers

• Emphasis on education and clarity
• Step-by-step guidance through the closing process
• Strong communication with clients, real estate agents, and lenders
• Bilingual support in English and Spanish

The goal is to help first-time buyers avoid surprises and close with confidence.

Ask anyway — the agent will say plainly that it is not published rather than guess.
