Norwood, Armstrong & Stokes, PLLC

Norwood, Armstrong & Stokes is a law firm focused on real estate closings for home buyers, sellers, refinancing borrowers, builders and commercial clients. Its attorneys handle residential and commercial closings, refinances and builder closings, and the firm says it built its practice on word-of-mouth referrals from local agents.

Buyers and agents can deposit earnest money from a smartphone. The firm records electronically and wires agent commissions and sale proceeds, which can speed up getting keys after a closing. An in-house title searcher, paralegal support and secure email are part of the process. The South Park office in Charlotte is by appointment only, and the firm also has offices in Huntersville and Davidson.
