Paralegal Services
Conveyancing Back Office Product
The goal is to offer a creative and innovative solution to attorneys who have a limited book of business for closing and settlement services.
The service will benefit those attorneys closing 20 or less transactions per month and will be most effective for those closing approximately 10-12 deals per month. Cherry Tree Title will act as the settlement agent’s back office and charge a processing fee for those attorneys who want to still be involved in the settlement process. For those who wish to be completely hands-off, we will take the file and pay out a referral fee to the referring attorney.
