Frequently Asked Questions
The full list is on the FAQ page. Short answers:
We can conduct closings for properties located anywhere in Virginia, Maryland and DC.
It depends on the complexity of the transaction, but typically about two weeks. The timeline relies on how communicative the other parties are and how quickly other elements are completed, such as inspections, mortgage payoffs and receiving HOA documents.
Simply email the ratified contract to your NSS contact. If you do not have one, or you do not know their email, please send it to settle@natsett.com and we will get it started. It is also helpful to receive the contact information for your clients and any lender associated with the transaction so we can reach out to them as quickly as possible.
Our preferred method of EMD acceptance is our online payment portal, which is more secure than a wire. We send this link automatically to buyers as soon as a file is opened and we receive their email address. It is also on our website. In addition, we can accept wires and personal or certified checks.
We can schedule closings as soon as you and your client are ready. Typically we reach out approximately one week before closing to schedule.
Wire Fraud Policy
Our wiring instructions will never change. Always call (703) 354-9677 to verify before you send money, and never use a number from an email. Report fraud at ic3.gov. Emails titled "Settlement Disbursement Receipt" or "Settlement Receipt Confirmation" are not from us. If you are asked to wire money, tell the user to call the office first.
