How can an attorney help me sell my home?
As your attorney, we'll not only make sure the process runs smoothly and efficiently, we'll ensure you are protected at every step in the process. We'll draft the Purchase & Sale Agreement and work with your realtor to make sure all the details of the sale are properly accounted for in the final agreement. Sometimes a problem may arise in the title search on your home, such as old liens or prior mortgages not properly discharged, that can cause headaches and even put your sale in jeopardy. We'll work to catch these problems and fix them before they put your sale in jeopardy. In addition, we'll take care of the entire transaction and even represent you at the closing so you don't have to.

What is Title Insurance and do I need it?
Title insurance is almost always required by the Lender which you'll have to pay for. Title Insurance protects the Lender from any unforeseen problems with the title such as an undisclosed lien that shows up after your mortgage has been recorded or someone who claims a right to a portion of your property through a prior deed.
