How Your Closing Works
We keep every closing on a clear, predictable track — so you always know what's next.
Open the File
We receive the contract, order title, and set the timeline the moment your deal goes under contract.
Clear the Title
We examine title, resolve any liens or defects, and secure your title insurance — the heart of a clean closing.
Prepare to Close
We coordinate with lenders, agents, and all parties, and prepare a clear, accurate closing statement.
Close & Record
We conduct your closing, disburse funds, and record your deed — and you get the keys.
Title Insurance That Actually Protects You
Title insurance is the quiet hero of every closing. It protects your ownership from problems buried in a property's past — old liens, forged deeds, boundary errors, undisclosed heirs — that could otherwise surface years later and threaten your home.
As a licensed title agency, we don't just hand you a policy. We do the deep title work to find and clear problems before you close, and we make sure your coverage genuinely protects one of the largest investments you'll ever make.
- ✓Deep title searches that catch hidden problems
- ✓Liens and defects cleared before you close
- ✓Owner's coverage that protects your investment
What to Bring to Your Closing
A smooth closing starts with being prepared. Here's what you'll typically need at the table.

For a purchase with a mortgage, your lender will require an active policy in place.
Any documents we've requested
We'll send a clear checklist ahead of time so nothing holds up your closing.
Your questions

Closings Our Clients Loved
As a first-time buyer, closing terrified me. Delaney & Cross walked me through every document, caught a title issue before it became a problem, and got us to the table right on schedule. Absolutely seamless.
We close a lot of investment properties and Delaney & Cross is the only firm we use now. Fast, precise, and totally reliable — our closings just happen, on time, every time. That's worth everything in this business.
A title defect from a decades-old deed nearly killed our sale. Their title team found it, cleared it, and saved the deal. I had no idea how much could go wrong at closing — or how much a great firm protects you.
We sold our home ourselves and Delaney & Cross handled the entire closing for a flat fee. Professional, responsive, and refreshingly clear about every cost. They made a complicated process feel simple.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an attorney to close in Florida?
Florida doesn't require an attorney for every closing, but using a real estate attorney — especially one that's also a licensed title agency — means someone with legal training is protecting your interests, reviewing every document, and catching problems a non-attorney closer might miss.
How much does a closing cost?
We offer flat-fee closing quotes so you'll know your cost up front, with no surprises at the table. The exact amount depends on the type and price of the transaction. Send us your details for a fast, clear quote.
What is title insurance and do I need it?
Title insurance protects your ownership from problems in a property's past — old liens, errors, or fraud — that could threaten your investment later. Lenders require it, and owner's coverage is one of the smartest protections a buyer can have. We handle it as a licensed title agency.
Can you close if I'm selling my home myself?
Yes. We handle for-sale-by-owner closings for a flat fee, managing the title work, documents, and closing so your sale is legally sound and smooth — without a listing agent.
How fast can you close?
It depends on the transaction and any title issues we find, but we're built for speed and hit our closing dates 99% of the time. Get us your contract early and we'll set a firm, realistic timeline.
Will you review my purchase contract?
Absolutely — and it's best to have us review it before you sign. We'll explain the terms, flag any risks, and make sure the contract protects you before you're locked in.
