We can assist you in selling your home without incurring the costs of listing on the MLS. You will be responsible for all marketing of the property; we will provide legal counsel.
It is prudent to have legal counsel if you are foregoing the services of a real estate agent entirely. The sale of your home is a legal transaction in which the signed documents create significant legal rights and responsibilities. Unless you are very familiar with contracts, you should not sign a contract for the sale of your home until an attorney has reviewed it. You shouldn’t “cut corners” in this regard, as “neglecting to get advice from an attorney or other knowledgeable person will cost you money, not save it.” Bottom line: “Don’t skimp on a lawyer.”
Moreover, there are legal obligations imposed on a seller. In almost all instances, the seller will need to complete a seller disclosure statement. The seller may also need to inform the buyer about existing lead paint. If the property has a septic system, county regulations may apply. We can assist you in meeting all of your legal obligations so that the transaction goes smoothly and you avoid potential problems after closing.
Finally, we will make sure that your interests are fully protected throughout the transaction. If the transaction begins to fall apart, we can provide you with immediate legal counsel as to your options.
