Commercial Real Estate Closings
Commercial closing support for buyers, sellers, lenders, investors, and operators who need title review, escrow coordination, lender compliance, and settlement handled clearly.
What Commercial Closings Involve
A commercial closing is more than a signing appointment. It is a coordinated process for title, escrow, lender, entity, and recording requirements.
Commercial Title Search
Ownership, liens, judgments, taxes, easements, restrictions, leases, and title exceptions are reviewed before settlement.
Title Insurance Coordination
We coordinate title insurance requirements, endorsements, underwriting questions, and lender title conditions.
Escrow and Payoff Handling
Commercial closings require precise payoff, release, tax, escrow, recording, and disbursement coordination.
Entity and Authority Review
LLCs, corporations, partnerships, trusts, and authorized signers must be confirmed for valid conveyance and closing documents.
Document and Exception Review
Surveys, leases, easements, declarations, loan documents, and recorded agreements are reviewed for closing impact.
Multi-Party Coordination
Commercial deals often involve buyers, sellers, brokers, lenders, attorneys, tenants, and asset managers with competing deadlines.
Commercial Closing Process
1. Open the File
Send the contract, property information, lender contact, entity details, and any survey or prior title policy.
2. Review Title and Requirements
We run commercial title, identify exceptions, review lender requirements, and flag curative items early.
3. Prepare for Settlement
Closing documents, escrow figures, payoffs, releases, and recording requirements are coordinated for settlement.
4. Close and Record
Funds are disbursed, documents are recorded, and title policy work moves forward after closing.
Commercial vs. Residential Closings
Commercial transactions have more variables, more documents, and more parties. The closing process needs to match that complexity.
More Deal Structures
Commercial closings can involve asset purchases, entity transfers, 1031 exchanges, seller financing, and complex lender conditions.
More Legal and Title Exceptions
Commercial title commitments often require review of surveys, zoning issues, access, leases, reciprocal easements, and use restrictions.
More Coordination
The closing timeline must account for lenders, attorneys, brokers, tenants, municipalities, payoff lenders, and entity signers.
