For Apartment Buyers & Syndicators
You found the deal, tied it up, and now you are watching the meter run. Your closing attorney is billing premium hours to discover things that are not judgment calls at all — an easement that was never plotted, a Table A item the lender required and the surveyor skipped, a flood zone note that contradicts the FIRM panel.
Then comes the loop that actually costs you the deal timeline: counsel flags the defect, you route it back to the surveyor, the surveyor re-issues in a week or two, counsel re-reviews and bills again — all while your rate lock burns and the seller gets nervous.
The work is basic. The bill is not. And every dollar of it comes straight out of a deal that has to pencil.
How it works
Run the file yourself first. Surface the correctable survey and title defects, force the fixes, and only spend attorney hours on the judgment calls that actually need a lawyer.
Upload the Title Commitment and ALTA survey the moment you receive them — before the package ever hits your attorney’s inbox and the clock starts.
Every survey defect, unplotted easement, setback issue, and title/survey conflict is checked against Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac multifamily standards and cited to the document.
Send the cited findings straight to your surveyor for re-work now, in parallel — so counsel receives a clean, closing-ready file instead of a defect list to bill against.
One caught survey defect eliminates a full flag-route-reissue-rebill cycle — that is a partner’s re-review plus days lost off your closing timeline, for every miss.
Reduce real estate closing attorney fees by handing over a file that is already reconciled. Thirty-nine dollars, run at the start of due diligence, routinely saves the six-to-eight attorney hours a messy survey burns before anyone even reaches the negotiation.
Frequently asked
Confirm vesting and legal description, review every Schedule B exception, verify the ALTA survey’s Table A items and certification, check flood and zoning, and reconcile the survey against the title commitment. The tool runs 87 such checks against Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac agency standards.
Have the correctable survey and title defects identified and fixed before the file reaches counsel, so your attorney spends billable hours on judgment calls rather than hunting for a missing Table A item or an unplotted easement.
Yes. A cited findings list gives you the specific defect and page to send back to the surveyor for re-work early, in parallel with the rest of diligence, instead of discovering it at the closing table.
