No agent still means a real closing.
Selling without a broker saves the listing-side compensation and moves several jobs onto you. WG Title handles the escrow, the title work and the recording — and will tell you plainly which parts are not ours to do.

Straight answers
The questions that actually come up.
General explanations, not legal or transaction-specific advice. Call the title team at 214-620-2055 for the facts of your file.
Can I close a sale without a real estate agent?
Yes. Texas does not require either party to be represented by a broker. You need a valid written contract, and you need a title company to handle escrow, title and recording.
Will WG Title write my contract?
No. Preparing or advising on a contract is legal work, and a title company acting as neutral escrow cannot do it for you. Use an attorney, or a broker, or a form your buyer's agent supplies — then bring us the executed contract.
Whose side is the title company on?
Neither. Escrow is deliberately neutral — we hold the funds and follow the contract's instructions for both parties. That neutrality is the reason the arrangement works, and it is also why we cannot negotiate for you.
What do I actually net without a listing agent?
Run the net sheet and set listing-side compensation to zero. Note that you may still agree to compensate a buyer's agent — that is negotiable between you and them, and it is a separate decision.
How do I know the buyer is real?
Earnest money deposited into escrow and a lender pre-approval are the two ordinary signals. We can confirm receipt of the earnest money; verifying the financing is between you, the buyer and their lender.

Escrow & closing
WG Title acts as the neutral closing team—coordinating funds, figures, signatures and recording so every party knows what must happen next.
Residential transactions
Buying, selling or refinancing a home brings deadlines and unfamiliar decisions. Our team keeps the process understandable and responsive.
Title insurance
A title search looks for ownership, lien and document problems before closing. Title insurance protects owners and lenders from covered defects that may surface later.

See what we do →WG Title provides title and escrow services, not legal advice. WG Law is a separate, independently operated company and any relationship with it is governed by its own engagement.
Planning estimate only. Your contract, lender disclosures, inspection results, tax prorations and final settlement statement control the actual numbers.
Commissions are always negotiable and are set solely between you and the broker you hire. WG Title does not set, recommend or receive any part of a real estate commission. These figures are a planning model built from the answers you gave.
