Illinois Title & Closing FAQ
Common questions about real estate closings and title services in Illinois.
Most residential closings in Illinois take 30 to 45 minutes at the signing table. The overall timeline from title order to close is typically 3 to 5 weeks depending on the complexity of the transaction and any title issues that need to be resolved.
While Illinois does not technically require an attorney for all real estate transactions, it is common practice in many parts of the state, especially in the Chicago area. In southern Illinois and the Metro East, closings are commonly handled by title companies. The Title Guy can coordinate with attorneys when needed.
We serve the entire state of Illinois, including the Metro East (St. Clair County, Madison County, Monroe County), Springfield, Champaign, and all other counties. We offer in person closings, mobile closings, and Remote Online Notary (RON) throughout Illinois.
Illinois has both state and county transfer taxes. The state transfer tax is $0.50 per $500 of the sale price, and many counties impose an additional county transfer tax. Some municipalities may also have their own transfer stamp requirements. The Title Guy handles all transfer tax calculations and compliance.
