Proactive Seller Side Representation

Attorney Smith counsels her seller clients on legal and title issues that could arise from the sale of the property, including permiting for renovations to reviewing title prior to placing the real estate on the market.  Through her solo practice, Attorney Smith provides a boutique style representation by walking her client sellers through the expectations of a sale and the projected costs of selling.  She explains the offer, drafts and negotiates the purchase and sale agreement and thoroughly reviews that agreement with her clients.  She thoroughly reviews the closing disclosure with her seller clients prior to representing her clients at closing, so sellers don't have to attend.
