No, but it is good to have a local attorney that knows the real estate in the area.

Dear Anonymous,
Generally no, but look at the contract. It probably says that the contact shall close in the county where the property is located at the office of the closing agent designated by the party paying for title insurance, however, it will also say that closing can occur by mail.
