Standard Packages

Selling Your Single-Family Home ($650.00)  I will help you sell your single-family home.  My services with this package include reviewing an offer received from a potential buyer, preparing a Purchase and Sale Agreement once you have accepted an offer, preparing the deed, arranging to pay off your existing mortgage(s), if any, and representing you at the closing.  I will charge my normal hourly rate of $190.00 for any additional services such as resolving any title issues, creating a power of attorney document so you don't have to attend the closing, etc.  If your sale transaction does not complete, I will charge my normal hourly rate for whatever work I've put into the transaction.

Buying Your Single-Family Home ($1,100.00)  I will help you buy your single-family home.  My services with this package will include reviewing your offer before you submit it, reviewing your Purchase and Sale Agreement, reviewing the deed, examining the title, working with your lender, if any, on your loan documents, obtaining a municipal lien certificate, a plot plan, and title insurance, preparing a Declaration of Homestead, and handling the financial details and the closing.  The Package assumes that you will purchase an owner's title insurance policy for your home in addition to the lender's title insurance policy your lender will require.  If you decide not to purchase owner's title insurance, my charges will be based on my normal hourly rate of $190.00.  I will charge my normal hourly rate for any additional services I provide.  If your purchase transaction does not complete, I will charge my normal hourly rate for whatever work I've put into the transaction.

Refinancing Your Single Family Home ($1,100.00)  I will help you refinance your single-family home.  My services with this package will include reviewing your lender's commitment letter, examining or updating the title, working with your lender on your loan documents, obtaining a municipal lien certificate, a plot plan or survey affidavit, and title insurance, preparing a Declaration of Homestead if you don't have one, and handling the financial details and the closing.  I will charge my normal hourly rate for any additional services I provide.  If your refinance transaction does not complete, I will charge my normal hourly rate for whatever work I've put into the transaction.
