What we handle

Your purchase, covered from offer to keys.

Buying a home involves more documents and deadlines than most buyers expect. Here's what we take care of on your behalf.

01 {IC_DOC}

Purchase agreement review

We read through every term, contingency, and deadline in your purchase agreement before you sign, and explain in plain English what each one means for you.

02 {IC_SHIELD}

Title review & abstract

Iowa is an abstract state, and an attorney title opinion is how transactions here are handled. We examine the abstract and title record to confirm the seller can transfer clear title to you at closing.

03 {IC_KEY}

Closing & keys

We review the closing documents and deed, then walk you through the signing, so you get the keys with confidence and no last-minute confusion.

The buyer path

From accepted offer to closing day.

A clear, guided process with a flat fee quoted before we begin, so there are no surprises on either side of the table.

Book a Discovery Call

It starts with a free 15-minute call with attorney Jeremy Danilson. Tell us about your purchase, ask your questions, and get your flat fee quoted before any work begins.

We review your purchase agreement

Once your offer is accepted, we can go through the agreement line by line and flag anything that deserves your attention, in plain English, not legalese. Purchase agreement review is its own flat-fee service, available at any level and quoted up front, and every review includes a step-by-step video walkthrough from one of our attorneys.

Title review gets handled

We examine the abstract and title record, and work through any issues so the seller can transfer clear title to you without delay.

You close and get your keys

We review the deed and all closing documents, coordinate the signing, and make sure every legal detail is in order so you leave closing with your keys in hand. Your funds and wire instructions move through ClosingLock, our encrypted secure closing platform: identities are verified before money moves, so you're protected from wire fraud.

First home or next home

Whether it's your first purchase or your fifth.

If this is your first home, the process can feel overwhelming. The paperwork alone is a lot to take in. We slow it down and explain each document so you understand what you're signing before the pen touches paper. You won't walk into closing with unanswered questions.

If you've been through this before, you know how quickly things can move and how much depends on the details being right. Whether you're purchasing an existing home or new construction, we give your transaction the same careful legal review. No shortcuts because "you've done this before."

New construction buyers often assume the builder's documents are standard. We read them with fresh eyes and make sure the terms work for you, not just for the builder.

Buyer questions

Questions buyers often ask.

Every Iowa purchase involves legal work before you get the keys: the abstract gets examined, an attorney issues a title opinion confirming the seller can deliver clear title, and the closing documents have to be right. The question is whose team is doing that work for you rather than for the other side. Our attorney-led closing team examines the title, prepares and runs the closing, and walks you through what you're signing, your own advocate at the table.

We review the purchase agreement before you sign, looking at the terms, contingencies, and deadlines. We also examine the abstract and title record to confirm there are no liens or issues that would affect your ownership. At closing, we review the deed and all closing documents and walk you through the signing, every step of the way.

New construction purchases come with their own set of documents, and builders typically use their own contracts. Those contracts are written to protect the builder. We read through them carefully, explain what each provision means for you, and flag anything that deserves a closer look or negotiation before you sign.

You get a single, clear fee quoted before any work begins, on your free 15-minute discovery call. There's no hourly billing and no surprise invoices at closing. The fee is based on your transaction and the level of support you choose, so you know the number up front.
