Assist you in securing pre-contract information - We'll get the information from you, from the broker and from the attorney for the other party. If something doesn't line up we identify it immediately so you don't begin making plans and spending money when there really isn't an agreement.

If you are buying or selling there are things you need to known now. What are the taxes?, how much will it cost to legalize a structure?, what are my responsibilities?, what are theirs?. We go through it all with you so whatever you need to know in order to proceed, you'll know. All your questions will be answered.

Review the Contract - The contract has to satisfy you factually and us legally. We'll review the contract with you and, when we are both satisfied, we'll negotiate with the other attorney to get whatever you reasonably need.

Order and review the title report promptly - Too often the title search is ordered late in the transaction and problems which can easily be solved if identified early may serve to delay your closing causing problems for buys and seller.

 

Communicate with your bank - If you are selling we'll get up to date pay off letters before the closing so all liens can be satisfied and you can close. If you're buying we will get all closing costs from your lender as early as possible and advise you of what funds you need to bring to your closing.

 

Attend your closing - We review and explain each document you are asked to sign, calculate all apportionments (tax adjustments, fuel credits, possession charges) and discuss 

 

Prepare a Closing Statement - So much happens at your closing it's sometimes confusing. We'll prepare a Closing Statement and send it to you with all needed documents.
