I’m purchasing a home and I don’t have my own attorney, do I need one or will your firm watch out for my interests at closing?
If we have advised you that we have been retained by your new mortgage lender to conduct the closing of your real estate transaction and mortgage then we do not represent you. However, you may retain our services to represent your interests at the closing. Please read the section titled Representing The Interests of the Home Buyer for more details about this service.
Can you explain the closing process and the functions that your office performs as closing attorney?
We will handle all of the major tasks in closing your purchase and mortgage or refinance mortgage transaction. See the section titled The Closing Process for more information.
I’m selling my property – do I need a real estate broker?
Unless you are familiar with the process of selling real estate and have the time and energy to advertise and show your property to a number of prospective buyers we recommend that you engage the services of a good real estate broker in your city or town. If you feel confident that you can handle these tasks yourself our office can work with you to prepare the legal documents and provide the legal advice necessary in such a transaction.
