| Remember, we can save you even more money if you insist that your lender use our office as your closing agent. Your lender will almost inevitably require title insurance, which is generally purchased through the closing agent. Illinois law (look for section 2T) prohibits your lender from requiring you to purchase your title insurance through any particular agent. We would be more than happy to discuss this with them if they disagree. Bottom line--if you want us to do your closing, your lender is required to abide by that decision. We look forward to working with you, and saving you money! |
