Settlement Services
Whether you are selling a house on your own lot or building a house on a customer’s lot, a Virginia real estate attorney from Szabo, Zelnick and Erickson will provide your customers with friendly, efficient and comprehensive settlement services at competitive fees.
Every settlement is performed by a Virginia real estate attorney who is experienced in buyer-builder relations and well-versed in construction and real estate law. Our staff understands the construction process, as well as the issues that may arise during the construction of a home or with the purchase of a newly built home.
We will take the time to explain all aspects of the process, whether your customer is obtaining an acquisition loan or a construction loan.
Some of the real estate services we provide include:
Construction Loans
Handling the settlement and monitoring of the construction process.
Construction Loan Monitoring Services/Mechanic's Lien Agent Services
Our Virginia real estate attorneys and staff have an extensive background in serving as Mechanic’s Lien Agents on residential building projects. We process certification requests quickly in order to get construction loan funds released to you in a timely manner.
Title Insurance
For construction loans, lenders require title insurance with affirmative Mechanic’s Lien coverage. We provide this coverage at no additional risk premium as long as we serve as the Mechanic’s Lien Agent and monitor the construction loan. This is a direct savings for your clients.
"On Your Lot" Assistance
We can provide assistance to both builders and owners in handling the legal issues that can arise when an owner hires a builder to construct a home on the owner’s lot.
Legal Documents
Our firm regularly assists builders with the legal documents necessary to establish a subdivision, adjust boundaries, and establish or change easements.
At Szabo, Zelnick and Erickson, our attorneys focus their practice on Virginia real estate law from both the business and personal perspective. We are members of the Prince William County Association of Realtors and can provide real estate litigation for builders, individuals, realtors, lenders, and business owners in Virginia.
You can get the process started today by requesting a case review. Or, if you prefer, you can call our office at 703-494-7171. Either way, we promise that someone from our legal team will address your questions in a timely manner so that you can focus on your new projects.
