Real Estate · Simple Wills
Expectations run high at the closing table – particularly now, in today’s challenging economic environment. At the law offices of Manaker, Cipolla and Associates, it is our mission to meet and exceed those expectations by delivering superior service in order to ensure a smooth transaction and positive experience for every client, every time.
Toward that end, we have adjusted our entire closing operation to be responsive to the challenges of the real estate market. Low list prices and interest rates make this an historic time to buy a home, but, in our experience, the realities of the new economy have made the closing transaction more complicated than ever before.
At every level, communication is key to a successful closing. Our staff of attorneys and paralegals uses a comprehensive team approach, addressing potential issues early in the processing of each transaction to avoid delays at closing. Every client file is managed by an attorney from start to close, ensuring that every detail receives the appropriate level of legal attention.
We are one of only a few firms in the entire state of South Carolina using SureClose®, a transaction management system that enables all the parties involved – buyers, their agents and banks – to add, share and view documents online.
This cutting edge mode of communication provides real time transparency and is available 24/7. The system streamlines the entire process, enhancing the closing experience and – because SureClose® is electronic and paperless – benefiting the environment as well.
At the core of the firm is founding partner Seth A. Manaker, whose tenure as a Charleston real estate attorney spans more than fifteen years. J. Michael Cipolla – promoted to partner this year – practices residential real estate with an emphasis in title issue resolution. By building relationships based on mutual respect and understanding, we strive to provide lifelong counsel for our clients, advocating on their behalf – from their first home purchase through retirement.
Our team is here for you, with legal solutions to simplify your life. Manaker, Cipolla and Associates serves the Charleston Tri-County area from conveniently located offices in James Island and Mount Pleasant.
