Michigan Real Estate Question- closing agents

[fernweh]

We bought a 1st home 15 years ago and I honestly don’t remember having a closing agent. We are buying a 2nd home and the lender asked for the contact info for our closing agent.

Is this something that is required? If so how do I go about finding a good one?

Is that the title company? Where you go to close?

I agree with mofongo I think that is where you close aka the title company. My RE agent arranged all that. She asked if I had a preference but I didn't so she arranged it to happen with the title company she used most. (I am in W MI).

Ah thanks for your replies - I will reach out to my realtor and see what she has to say.

Did you ask the lender or real estate agent for clarification?

Yes! You and nomad100 were correct. Reached out to our realtor and she said it was through their title company and had and name/contact all ready for us!

Oh cool, did you find something lake front?

I live in Brighton, so I'm wondering if we are neighbors now 🤣

It’s lake front but we’re not neighbors- it’s a bit further north.

They could mean the closing coordinator for the brokerage your agent works for? I was a closing coordinator before I became an agent and I handled all of the files once they were under contract.
