Real Estate

Buyers:  We are happy to walk with you from the time you find your home, to the closing table, and beyond.  We usually are contacted by our new clients after they have had their offer to buy a house accepted through the real estate agents.  We then meet with our clients to review and revise the contracts, order a title search, order a survey, and manage the transaction through to a successful closing.  Please give us a call if you should have any questions about the real estate process, or the status of your file.  In the mean time, below are a few handy forms and links to make the process smoother:

• Closing Cost Calculator
• General Buyer Tips/Instructions
• STAR Tax Exemption Application
• Power of Attorney
  

Sellers: From the moment you accept the offer, through closing, we handle every step of the way.  After consulting with you on the details of the sale you have negotiated, we work with you to prepare a legal contract to clearly spell out the rights and responsibilities of both you and your buyer.  We also work with you to clear up any issues which may arise from the buyers' title search, and we prepare the necessary documents to execute at closing to transfer title to the buyer while managing the expenses of your sale.   In some cases, the expenses of a sale exceed the sale price, and we are available to work with you and your realtor to negotiate a "short sale" with your existing lender.  Below are some useful forms to help familiarize you with the process and the typical costs:

• Closing Cost Worksheet
• Seller Tips and Instructions (traditional)
• Seller Tips and Instructions (short sale)
• Power of Attorney
