From contract to close — handled with care.
Licensed Texas transaction coordination, mobile notary, loan signing, and apostille services for agents and clients across Rockwall and East Dallas.
I'm Rachel Bates — a licensed real estate agent with MLS access and a Notary Public. I started Bates & Co. Closings to bring agents and clients a calm, organized partner for the part of real estate that makes everyone nervous: getting to the closing table.
Whether you need a transaction coordinated start to finish, or a notary who'll meet you wherever you are, I keep the details handled so nothing slips — and everyone closes with a smile.
I manage your file from executed contract to closing — deadlines, title, lender, inspections, disclosures, and broker compliance — with friendly weekly updates to your client. You sell; I'll handle the paperwork.
Flat fee, paid at closing — no upfront cost.
