Real estate attorneys handle closings, title work, and litigation — all of which require upfront work before fees land. Between title search costs, escrow shortfalls, and the staff needed to handle closing volume — real estate law firms need capital that moves at the speed of transactions.
This Is Why You're Here
Closing volume tripled this spring. You need 2 more paralegals and a title processor — $18K/month in added payroll. Revenue will cover it in 6 weeks but hiring starts now.
A commercial real estate closing fell through after you'd spent $12K in title searches, surveys, and document prep. The client won't cover your costs. You need to absorb the loss and keep operating.
You're adding commercial real estate to your residential practice. Marketing, CLE courses, and a commercial transaction database cost $20K to launch the new service line.
A title insurance underwriter dropped your agency and you need $30K to switch providers, rebrand marketing materials, and cover the revenue gap while you rebuild referral relationships.
You've got 22 closings scheduled in the next 3 weeks and your title processor just went on medical leave. A contract title processor costs $8K/month and you need one starting Monday.
Closing volume tripled in Q2 and I needed two paralegals and a title processor yesterday. Basecamp got me $55K in working capital in 36 hours. I didn't miss a single closing and revenue more than covered the cost by month two.

Built for Your Business
Closing volume can triple in 60 days. You can't wait for a bank to approve a loan while closings pile up. We fund staffing in 24-48 hours so you hire when you need to, not when the bank says you can.
When a closing falls through after you've done $12K in title work and surveys, that cost doesn't disappear. A credit line absorbs these losses so one bad transaction doesn't wreck your month.
Modern title search and escrow management platforms cost $15K-$25K but they cut processing time in half. When you're doing 40 closings a month, that speed difference is the whole margin.
Adding commercial real estate to your residential practice means new marketing, CLE courses, and transaction databases. That's $20K to launch a service line that doubles your per-transaction revenue.

Calculate Your Real Cost →Real estate attorneys live and die by closing volume. Spring hits and suddenly you need three more people on staff. One attorney in Charlotte needed $55K to hire fast when closings tripled — we had it funded in 36 hours. She made that money back in 6 weeks of closings.

Real estate law is seasonal and it hits fast. January you're slow. March you're swamped. By April you need two more paralegals and a title processor — that's $18K/month in payroll you didn't have 60 days ago. And here's the kicker: when a $400K commercial closing falls through after you've spent $12K on title searches and surveys? You eat that cost. There's no one to bill.
We fund real estate attorneys who need to move at the speed of transactions. $55K working capital in 36 hours to staff up when closing volume triples. A credit line that flexes with your season so you're not scrambling every spring. Technology financing for the title software that cuts processing time in half. One application, 70+ lenders, no hard pull. Residential, commercial, title work — we've funded all of it.
