Homebuying demand is ticking up, listings are climbing, and activity is picking up, but it’s a slow return, not a surge.

“Even though more buyers are coming off the sidelines, some are still wondering if they should wait for mortgage rates to fall more before making a move. I tell them no–if you love a home and you can afford it, make an offer,” said Sue Dhillon a Redfin Premier agent in Seattle. #realestate

Running a two-attorney law firm means every hour counts, and no room for software that creates more work than it solves.

That was the reality for Mercogliano & Associates, a North Carolina law firm handling real estate closings alongside civil litigation, family law, and estate administration.

When their previous platform closed down, they needed a replacement that could handle the operational demands of a small team without sacrificing accuracy or support.

Through SnapClose, they were able to file 1099s directly with the IRS, manage complete escrow accounting with QuickBooks integration, access ALTA Settlement Statement documents, and get responsive support when they needed it , without waiting.

For a team of two, that kind of reliability isn't a nice-to-have. It's the whole job.

A new federal rule just put title agents and closing attorneys first in line for compliance reporting, not the buyer, not the seller.

Under FinCEN's Residential Real Estate Reporting Rule, which took effect March 1, 2026, professionals handling closings are now responsible for identifying who sits at the top of the reporting hierarchy and making sure their processes reflect that.

Update your intake procedures, beneficial ownership certifications, and compliance protocols before the next LLC or trust-based transaction hits your desk.

Here's what the rule covers: non-financed transfers to LLCs, partnerships, and trusts must be reported to FinCEN, beneficial ownership details included, within 30 days of closing, or by the last day of the month following closing, whichever is later.
Records must be kept for five years. Non-compliance carries civil and potential criminal penalties.

When compliance requirements tighten, the firms with clean workflows and organized files handle it without disruption. The ones running on email threads and spreadsheets find out the hard way.

Has your office already adjusted workflows for the RRE Rule, or is that still in progress?
