Please see our standard fees below. Please note each parcel of real estate is unique, and exceptions can apply based on the specific details of the transaction, so please know we are available to answer any questions.
The title insurance premiums for a loan policy or owner’s policy will be based on the loan amount or purchase price, as the case may be. And the rates for title insurance are determined by the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance.
As noted below, “mail-away” fees apply for any parties not attending the closing, and any mail-away closings must be approved in advance by us. In addition, please note supplemental charges apply for multiple parcels or parcels that require extensive corrective title work in order to close.
Any additional documents that we prepare for closing, other than a standard deed to transfer title, will accrue additional charges. Additional documents necessary for closing begin at $150.00 per document. But that amount will increase based on the complexity of the matter. For example, if a party needs a standard Power of Attorney or Quit Claim deed for a transaction, the standard rate is $150.00 per document. More complex documents such as easements or boundary line agreements, for example, will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
Please note any parties wishing to close via a Power of Attorney must be approved by us in advance. Any closings with a trust or 1031 exchange must also be approved in advance to ensure a smooth and seamless experience at the closing table. And additional fees may apply for such transactions.
For all commercial closing questions, please contact our office, and we will be happy to assist you. If you have a commercial closing and need fees and rates, please call 404.433.7435, so we can give you an estimate.
