Clear to Close Review
If a title defect, lien, or missing document is holding up your real estate closing, we can help resolve it quickly — with flat-fee options and Houston-area experience in title and curative work.
When a Closing Hits a Snag
You're days — sometimes hours — from closing, and something unexpected comes up. A lien nobody mentioned. A name that doesn't match on the title. A missing lease your lender wants to see. These issues can feel overwhelming, especially with a closing date already on the calendar. But most closing problems are fixable, often faster than you'd expect, once someone experienced takes a close look.
How We Can Help
Tier 1 — Standard Curative Review — $600 flat fee
A title defect, missing release, or name discrepancy holding up your closing? We'll review the issue and help get it resolved quickly.
Tier 2 — Document & Lien Resolution — $1,200 flat fee
For matters involving a tax lien, a lease agreement needed for due diligence, or other more involved document issues.
Tier 3 — Complex or Contested Matters — Custom Quote
Some situations — like disputed heirship or matters headed toward litigation — need a closer look before we can quote a fee. We'll walk you through your options during your free call.
Expedited Review — +$250
Need an answer within 24 hours? We offer expedited turnaround for time-sensitive closings.
How It Works
Step 1 — Tell Us What's Going On
Complete a short online form describing your closing issue. Takes about five minutes, and works great from your phone.
Step 2 — Free 15-Minute Call
We'll call you to talk through the situation, answer your questions, and let you know which review tier fits your matter.
Step 3 — We Get to Work
Once you're engaged, we move quickly — reviewing documents, resolving the issue, and keeping you updated until you're clear to close.
