    Colleen Hagarty - Real Estate Investor and Creative Finance Consultant

    Creative finance is complicated.
    Your closing process shouldn't be.

    Most real estate investors lose deals not because the numbers didn't work — but because the process fell apart. A subject-to closing with a title company that's never seen one. A wrap mortgage with no proper disclosure. A coliving property with no systems for tenant onboarding or rent collection. Close Creatively exists to close that gap. We bring the transaction management, deal structuring, and operational infrastructure that creative finance investors actually need to close with confidence and scale without the chaos.

    Title Issues

    Most title companies don't understand subject-to or wraps. We speak their language and navigate the hurdles.

    Dropped Balls

    Missing insurance, unsigned disclosures, or unrecorded deeds can blow up a deal post-closing.

    Manual Chaos

    Running a business on spreadsheets and sticky notes doesn't scale. You need automated workflows.

    Who We Work With

    Close Creatively serves real estate investors and small business owners who are already in motion — you've done deals, you understand the basics of creative finance, and you're ready to operate at a higher level.

    Our clients typically fall into one of these categories: subject-to and seller finance investors who need a TC that won't blow the deal by asking the wrong questions; coliving operators and rent-by-room landlords who need underwriting support and operating systems; off-market deal hunters looking for a reliable dispo and capital network in NC and beyond; and SMB owners who are ready to replace manual processes with AI-powered workflows.

    We're based in Wilmington, NC and work with investors across North Carolina, Texas, and nationally on creative transactions. If you're doing deals in the Carolinas, the Triangle, Charlotte, or the Texas markets and need a TC who speaks your language — we're it.

    Why Investors Work With Us

    Creative finance is a niche that most service providers don't understand. Standard title reps, traditional TCs, and generalist consultants cost deals because they don't know what they don't know. Our edge is specificity — we've worked subject-to, wraps, seller finance, novations, and lease options from intake through recording. We know where the deals break and how to keep them together. Flat-rate pricing, no surprise invoices, and direct communication throughout. When you book a session, you're talking to someone who's actually done the work.
