If this is your first home purchase, or perhaps you haven't purchased a new home in a while, the process may seem confusing. We hope that our office can make the entire purchase process easy and enjoyable for you. There are a few things to remember.

The lender's attorney, including this office if we are representing the lender, represents the interests of the lender. However, in Connecticut it is most common that the attorney for the buyer also represents the lender, and in that event the attorney represents the interests of the both parties. This is allowed under Connecticut law and under the Rules of Professional Conduct adopted by the American Bar Association, as revised by the Connecticut Bar Association. However, in the event Attorney Keily is representing your lender, please be advised that you may retain your own attorney to represent you for your purchase. Attorney Keily is always willing to represent both the buyer and lender if neither party objects and this will usually cost the buyer less money and make it a more efficient process in preparing for and conducting the closing. Some of the services we provide when representing homebuyers are:

• Resolve title issues, if any, which may arise during the pendency of your purchase and assist you if you if you are selling real estate to purchase your new home.
  
• Explain the mortgage process and assist you in understanding just what the lender's commitment letter says.
  
• Assist in the coordination of the closing and represent you at the closing, review all closing documents and explain their meaning and significance to you.
  
• Answer questions you may have and resolve disputes that may arise at any time during the closing process.
  
• Ensure the recording of the mortgage and deed and other applicable documents in the land records and obtaining releases of mortgages from the sellers' attorney and ensure recording of those as well.

Please call our office to discuss how we can represent you and what are fees are for this service. We look forward to hearing from you.
