Looking for Real Estate Professional in/near St. Leon-Rot Germany

[David L.]

Hello, I am trying to close a deal on a property that is located in the USA, but the Seller is a German citizen, living in St. Leon-Rot Germany.  Ideally, I think that the local German equivalent of a title company might be best, but I have no idea what the RE closing process in Germany is so I don't know whether they have such a thing, or if all closings are done by attorneys.

Bottom line, the seller has no access to a computer, and there's some language barrier, so I'm looking for someone local to the Seller to help me and the US title company by hand-delivering documents and probably assisting with translating on a conference call or two, for a fixed fee (not an agent's commission).

Any suggestions for something like this?  Have tried searching online a bit but haven't found what I'm looking for, yet.

The equivalent of a title company in Germany is a public Notary.  They are automatically closing attorneys but you would just need them for the signature authentication the closing would be done in the US.
