When P5 Legal is working on your closing you can be sure of:
- flexibility as to time and place of the closing. Your place or mine. Early, late, even weekends
- open lines of communication. This means having your questions answered in a timely manner.
Buyer Representation
The right time for you to get independent legal advice concerning what the Offer to Purchase should include is before the blanks are filled in and the seller has accepted your Offer to Purchase. When you are ready to make an Offer, I strongly suggest that you take a step back and get good independent legal advice from an attorney who is working to protect your interests.
Seller Representation
I strongly recommend retaining the services of a lawyer at the time you list your property for sale. This way when an offer is made you have someone already on your team to offer independent advice concerning the terms and conditions for the sale of your property.
