Fairfax, VA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/14/2019 --Mathis Title Company, a Fairfax title company, recently released a blog discussing the advantages of working with a title company that has a legal background during the contract preparation & review process when it's time to sell your home.

In most home selling situations, homeowners choose to work with a real estate agent. The agent is responsible for helping homeowners organize their legal paperwork, including contracts. If a homeowner chooses to sell their own home in a "for sale by owner" situation, then they are responsible for creating a purchase agreement with terms and conditions of the sale. An experienced title company with a legal background can assist homeowners selling their own property by creating a purchase agreement that includes the sale price, date of closing, home inspections, lender appraisals, and other sale details.

Most homeowners do not have the legal background necessary to properly compile purchase agreements and contracts, and they leave themselves open to liabilities if they fail to create a suitable contract. A reputable title company, meanwhile, will represent your interests and ensure that you are receiving a fair deal and good terms during your home sale. The company will review all contracts and paperwork, identify problem areas, and help sellers address them. It can also help sellers collect the right kind of paperwork and keep it in a safe location to ensure a smooth closing experience. Choosing to use a title company instead of a real estate agent can also save time and money on the transaction, allowing sellers to get the most out of their home and move to their new location as soon as possible.
