After almost twenty years as a lawyer I have seen so much; so many personalities and so many situations. It continues, as the dynamic between the various people and entities involved in each closing is always different.  Currently, with my broad experience in work-outs and bankruptcy, representation of Sellers in short sales brings challenges.

 

    My professional responsibility to be a knowledgeable, focused, ethical, accountable attorney for the client comes first. I work best with realtors who respect that professionalism and have the same intent.

 

 

      I recognize the hard work you perform in getting a contract signed. How many houses  or condos have you shown, only to have a buyer or seller decide they are not ready to make a move? You spend evenings, weekends and full days interacting with sellers and buyers, understanding each client, trying to find the right match, the correct price and the solution to a real or perceived problem. You have stuck with it because when a deal goes through you earn your deserved fee. You refine your technique, you survive the toughest times and you realize and consistently improve the skills you have developed. You enjoy finding the right match and, through it all, there are so many people you have helped. It’s your career and you are a Professional.

 

        I never talk about how you “just need to show a house.” You have my respect and I show it. When a deal comes to me, I work on it. I value your services, knowledge and experience. I will keep you informed of the status of each transaction as we move firmly, but carefully, to closing. Realtors have my cell phone number. I call you, and I return your calls.  I’ll start helping you right now - save this website on your desktop and use our link to quickly find the realty transfer fee chart while your client is waiting on the telephone. We also have a link to each municipal and county website on this page.  

 

        I contact the clients as soon as I receive the Contract, when the inspection report is in, and the mortgage commitment, and the C.O., and I diary dates so we don’t miss deadlines.  I review title carefully when it comes in. We monitor timelines and events and we make calls. Our files are organized into effective sections for the various tasks that must be completed.  I have frequent interaction with you and with the client. As a Professional Realtor, the status of the transaction is important to you, not just the closing date. I will work with you, in an organized fashion, so that our separate needed skills are utilized for the benefit of the client.  Together, offering the client the best of professionalism, we will close the Purchase or Sale with the client happy and future referrals likely. We have a Strategic Alliance.

 

        The best way for us to develop a long term working relationship is to start with a single closing. Please refer me to the buyer or seller or call me directly the next time you have a deal. Of course, call me anytime to introduce yourself and discuss our practices. Your effort to do a good job for your client will be continued by your referral as clients will be appreciative of the excellent legal service we provide.   I look forward to your referral and proving to you, and the buyer or seller, that you, as a Professional Realtor, have a strategic alliance with me, a Professional Real Estate Attorney; knowledgeable, focused, ethical and accountable, ready to work with you for the client in professionally completing the transaction.
