Call if You Are Buying, Selling or Refinancing

The purchase or sale of a home is an important transaction. Call as soon as you decide to buy or sell, to get the information you need to make good decisions. Here's what I do to help clients buy or sell a home:

• show you what an Offer to Purchase covers, and assist with negotiations.
• review your Purchase and Sale Agreement and discuss your needs before you sign, including your time line for moving into your new home, or relocating from your current residence.
• coordinate the home buying/selling process with the lender, buyer, seller and broker.
• explain income tax and property tax issues.
  Client Review: Attorney Roberts helped me through my home buying process. I highly recommend working with him as he will make your process smooth.

  My Vision: Prompt service and efficient real estate transactions.
  My Mission: To provide you with superior service that includes regular updates on settlement closing figures well in advance of the closing day. By working ahead of the curve, you get time to understand the details and the confidence you need to make important decisions.
  My Values: A closing that completes your transaction, securing the ownership of your real estate.
  
  When you select an Attorney for your closing, you are designating the Closing Agent who will prepare figures and documents for you and your lender. It is important to choose an Attorney who will provide you with a high level of service, just as you select a mortgage lender who will return your phone calls and respond to your needs.
  
  As your Title Examiner, I research the property you are planning to buy, and uncover any defects in the chain of title going back 50 years. When title research is completed for a home buyer, and any defects in the chain of title have been resolved, we provide title certification to the buyer and to the Lender, and to the Title Insurance Company that insures your good title to the property. Massachusetts Consumer Protection laws protect you if you use an attorney to handle your purchase. The Consumer Protection law guarantees your right to a certification of title from the attorney who handles your mortgage transaction.
  If you are buying a home, I arrange for a Land Surveyor to travel to the property, and prepare an encroachment survey. This survey is prepared as soon as you have decided you want to go ahead with your real estate purchase.
  I work with you on each step of the buyer's checklist, or seller's checklist, to make sure your transaction runs smoothly. You can call me anytime you have a question.
