Cherry Tree Title is a real estate law firm that handles closings from start to finish: Purchase & Sale agreement review and drafting, title examination, title insurance, closing coordination, disbursement of funds, and recording at the Registry of Deeds. We represent home buyers and sellers, work alongside real estate agents, close for lenders, and handle investor transactions, including LLC purchases and 1031 exchanges.
Yes. Massachusetts is an attorney-closing state: the state's highest court has held that a licensed attorney must be substantively involved in conducting a real estate closing. That's why buyers, sellers and lenders in Massachusetts work with a closing attorney rather than only a title or escrow company. Cherry Tree Title's attorneys handle closings throughout Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
We review or draft your Purchase & Sale (P&S) agreement within one business day of a signed offer. If we miss that deadline, we credit $250 toward your closing fees.
We're based in Lynnfield, Massachusetts, and we close transactions throughout Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Most of our files are in Boston and Greater Boston and on the North Shore, including Lynnfield, Peabody, Salem, Beverly, Danvers, Marblehead, Andover and surrounding towns.
A typical financed purchase closes about 30 to 60 days after an accepted offer. The offer is followed by the Purchase & Sale agreement, then the title exam, mortgage commitment and closing. Cash deals can close faster. Our 24-hour P&S review and early title review keep the timeline from slipping at the start, when delays usually begin.
If you have a mortgage, your lender will require a lender's title policy, which protects only the lender. An owner's policy is optional, but it protects you and your heirs against covered title defects, such as an old unpaid lien or a forgery in the chain of title, for as long as you own the home. You pay a one-time premium at closing. We'll explain the options and costs before you decide.
Never act on wiring instructions sent only by email, especially if they "change" at the last minute. Before you wire any funds, call Cherry Tree Title at a number you already know, (781) 346-6500, and confirm the instructions with a person. We will never change wiring instructions by email.
Trusted by agents and investors across Massachusetts and New Hampshire for fast, reliable closings.
