Our passion is closing!
We strive to make every buyer and seller comfortable with the closing process. Our staff and attorneys want you to understand each document with the detail necessary to make that a reality.
We strive to make every buyer and seller comfortable with the closing process. Our staff and attorneys want you to understand each document with the detail necessary to make that a reality.
Above all else, we strive to help our clients and our community. We service North Georgia and Hamilton County, Tennessee. We write title insurance for Fidelity National Title Insurance Company and we are an approved settlement agent for closing Georgia HUD transactions.
Please send a copy of your contract or title request to ORDERS@BATTLEFIELDTITLE.COM
Your closer will be assigned when the contract/title request is logged into our system. An email confirming receipt of the title order will contain the name and email address of your closer.
It is preferable that you attend closing in person. However, there are two ways to do your closing if you cannot be here in person:
1) Choose someone you trust to sign on your behalf and give them power of attorney to you (we will prepare the power of attorney for an additional fee of $125). If you have a power of attorney prepared by a third party, we MUST review it prior to closing. Additionally, if you are buyer and you are getting a loan to purchase your property, your lender will need to approve the power of attorney prior to closing
2) We can email your documents to you. You will be responsible for finding a notary public and properly executing the documents without the benefit of having us go over the documents with you in person
Our turnaround time depends on current demand. We will do everything possible to meet your closing timeline, but typically our title searches take 2-3 weeks. Even “cash” transactions take this long because we still have to complete a title search.
A typical contract generally puts the burden of paying closing costs on the buyer unless the parties agree otherwise. However, everything is 100% negotiable in your contract.
The Georgia “Good Funds” statute requires that all funds over $5,000 be WIRED for closing (please call our office to obtain our wiring instructions).
If the amount you need for closing is under $500.00, you may write a personal check payable to Battlefield Title Company, LLC.
If the amount you need for closing is between $500.00 - $5,000.00, you may bring a cashier’s check payable to Battlefield Title Company, LLC.
