Tidemark Real Estate Law

The people on your file

Three attorneys and two specialists. Every file has a supervising attorney and one named coordinator, and you'll know both by name on day one.

Residential closings and title

Nora Whitlock

Founding partner · Admitted in South Carolina, 2009

Nora spent four years on the title side before starting Tidemark in 2011 with one idea: a closing fee you know before you commit. She still supervises the residential closing team and reads every title summary that has a problem in it.

Ask Nora about

Why an owner's title policy is worth a look, even when your lender doesn't require it.

Real estate litigation, quiet title and partition

Teresa Lin

Attorney · Admitted in South Carolina, 2014

Languages: English and Mandarin

Ask Teresa about

What heirs' property owners can do before anyone files a partition case.

The closing team

Coordinators and paralegals don't give legal advice. They keep your file moving, answer what they can and bring an attorney in for the rest.

Dana Pruitt

Senior closing coordinator · Residential files, start to finish

Dana is the person most clients talk to most. She tracks every residential file from contract to recording and sends the Monday status emails agents ask about.

Ask about: What to bring to the closing table, and what you can leave at home.

Ellis Grant

Title examiner and paralegal · Title searches and curative work

Ellis reads county records all day. He writes the plain-English title summaries and chases down the old mortgage releases that hold up closings.

Ask about: How a deed from 1978 can still matter to a sale in 2026.
