Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about the closing process or what to expect when working with a real estate attorney? We've answered some of the most common questions our clients and realtors ask to help you feel confident and informed.
Yes. In Illinois, it’s standard—and strongly recommended—to have a real estate attorney handle your closing. Your attorney reviews the contract, negotiates terms, manages title issues, and ensures the transaction closes legally and smoothly. At Gurney Law Group, we guide you through every step to protect your interests from offer to closing day.
A closing attorney manages all the legal details of your real estate transaction. This includes reviewing the purchase contract, communicating with lenders and title companies, resolving inspection or title issues, preparing closing documents, and representing you at the closing table. We make sure everything is accurate, compliant, and on schedule.
Most residential real estate closings in Chicago take between 30 to 45 days after the contract is signed. However, timelines can vary depending on financing, inspections, and title review. Our team works proactively with all parties to help your deal close on time—without last-minute surprises.
