In addition to the above items, we will also work with you to answer all your questions during the course of the transaction.

What happens if the transaction with a buyer reaches a dead end?  I will work with you to sell the property with as many buyers as you want to bring to the table within one year of our start date, all for the same fee. In other words, if you decide you want out of a deal or if a buyer exercises a valid contingency, you do not have to worry about additional legal fees with the next buyer.  Other attorneys may charge you a fee for a set number of hours and if you exceed that number of hours they will tack on additional charges at their hourly rate. There are no hourly limits to my flat fee and we consider our service to be the most all inclusive fee available in this market. 

No flat fee offered at any price is worth anything unless accompanied by the highest commitment to service. We encourage you to look at our online reviews to see for yourself how our clients measure our service in comparison to our fees. You will find that our combination of superior service and quality representation makes our clients extremely satisfied.
