Fees are charged on a per-file basis and are earned upon file acceptance. Payment is typically collected through escrow at closing, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
All fees are non-refundable, as outlined in our Refund Policy, except as required by law.
Additional fees may apply, including but not limited to cancellation fees or rush fees, as disclosed in the Expectations & Services Agreement.
