North Shore Closing FAQs

Where is your North Shore office?

We're at 6 Kimball Ln, Suite 220, Lynnfield, MA 01940, convenient to Route 1, Route 128 and I-95. Get directions.

Where are North Shore deeds recorded?

Most North Shore properties are recorded at the Southern Essex District Registry of Deeds in Salem. Towns in the Merrimack Valley, such as Andover, North Andover, Methuen and Lawrence, record at the Northern Essex Registry in Lawrence. Some nearby Middlesex towns, such as Wakefield, Reading and Melrose, record at the Middlesex South Registry. We handle recording for you.

Do sellers need a smoke certificate on the North Shore?

Yes. Every Massachusetts seller must get a smoke and carbon monoxide compliance certificate from the town's fire department before closing. Schedule the inspection early, because availability varies by town.

What is the Cherry Tree Title 24-hour P&S guarantee?

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.

Do I need an attorney to close on a house in Massachusetts?

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.
