Attorney-reviewed purchase closings in Western Pennsylvania.
From agreement of sale to keys: title search and examination, owner's and lender's policies at Pennsylvania's filed rate, full escrow and disbursement, and a settlement date we treat as a commitment — not an estimate.
What your purchase closing includes
- Title search and attorney-reviewed commitment — every exception read and explained in plain English before it becomes a surprise.
- Owner's and lender's title insurance at the filed TIRBOP rate, issued through nationally rated underwriters.
- Escrow and disbursement from segregated fiduciary accounts with Positive Pay and dual-control wire release.
- Payoffs, lien letters, and tax certifications ordered, verified by callback, and tracked to done.
- Deed and closing-document coordination, CD balancing with your lender, and prompt recording after closing.
What we watch for out here
Western Pennsylvania title has a personality. On purchase files in Westmoreland and eastern Allegheny Counties we routinely deal with oil, gas, and mineral reservations sitting several owners back in the chain; coal severances; property passing through estates without a deed ever being recorded; unreleased mortgages from banks that no longer exist; and municipal and school liens that only surface when someone actually orders the lien letters.
Those aren't reasons to worry — they're reasons the commitment gets read by a licensed Pennsylvania attorney before you rely on it.
Purchase closing questions
Who chooses the settlement company on a purchase?
In most Pennsylvania purchases, the buyer chooses — and under federal law (RESPA), a seller generally can't require a particular title insurer as a condition of sale. Your agent or lender may recommend one; buyers are free to direct the order to us by name.
What does title insurance cost on a purchase?
Pennsylvania rates are filed and regulated (TIRBOP), generally all-inclusive of search, examination, and settlement service. A $250,000 purchase runs approximately $1,850, once, at closing. Run your number with the instant estimate.
How long from agreement of sale to closing?
We open the file the same business day we receive the agreement and confirm your closing window in writing. Most residential purchase timelines are driven by the lender's clear-to-close, not the title work — our job is to make sure title is never the holdup.
Where does the closing happen?
At our Murrysville office at 3950 William Penn Highway (Floor 1, Suite 6), at your realtor's or lender's office by arrangement, or by appointment including early evenings.
