Title company or attorney in California

[Jorge Soto]

Hello Biggerpockets community. My name is Jorge and I am a new wholesaler in the Sacramento area. My partner and I will be sending out our direct mail campaign by the end of August. My question was for any wholesaler that have closed on a deal in the state of California. Did you use a title company (if so which one) or did you go with a attorney? If you have closed with both, which one was easier? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

California isn't an attorney state like other states. Specifically in norcal we use title companies to handle title/escrow (socal uses separate title and escrow companies).  The use of re attorneys here is for drafting up contracts.  So if you need a contract drafted you can get a re attorney, then once you get into contract go to a title company.
