Absentee ownee wants to use their Closing Agent (Wholesale Deal)?

[Mark Sloan]

I'm currently have a property under contract and the seller wants to use their title company. How do I avoid this? I was planning to do a double close. My contract doesn't state where closing will take place (lesson learned) but it does state where the EMD will be held which happens to be my closing attorney.

Any help would be appreciated! Also, does it matter that the seller is in another state? Doesn't the property & title company have to be in the same state? Thanks!
