Fees
How each flat fee works, and what it leaves out
Each fee is for our legal work on one property, and it goes in your engagement letter before we start.
Buying a home
From the signed contract to the keys, for one home and one loan. Land, buildings with several units and owner-financed sales are quoted first.
Start a purchasePurchase contract read before its deadlines
Title commitment and survey reviewed
Closing statement checked line by line
A video call before you sign
Selling a home
For one home, sold with an agent or on your own. A lien that needs more than a letter and a filing gets its own flat quote.
Start a saleSale contract read before you sign
Deed drafted for the sale
Liens and payoffs checked
Seller's statement reviewed
A lease package
For a house, a duplex or a few units with one set of rules. Each additional property is quoted on its own.
Order a leaseLease written for the property
Deposit terms and move-in checklist
Notice letter set and one round of changes
Clearing a title
A flat quote after we read the title commitment. The problem sets the fee: a missing release is quick, heir and boundary problems take longer.
Send a title commitmentThe problem explained in writing
Releases, affidavits or corrective deeds
Recording handled with the title company
Title insurance, recording fees, lender charges, agent commissions, the title company's closing fee and court costs are charged by others and are not in our fee. Anything outside the usual scope gets its own flat quote before we do it.
Paying
How paying for a flat fee works here
One payment, online
You pay through the client portal after you sign the engagement letter. Card or bank transfer.
If the deal falls through
The engagement letter says what you owe for the steps we finished. You won't owe for the ones we didn't reach.
When a file needs more
A second flat quote, in writing, before any extra work. You can say no.
