Selling your home without a realtor can be challenging, but our Selling Your Home by Owner Program makes documenting and closing the sale of your home easy.  Even if you find an interested buyer, their lack of a realtor or experience in preparing a written offer to purchase your home can stall or prevent a potential sale.  Our Selling Your Home by Owner Program includes a package of documents you can provide to potential buyers so they have all they need to make an offer to purchase your home, including all of the standard owner disclosures.  And, their offer is made with your document and on your terms.  You do the marketing and we document and close your sale, with or without your buyers using a lawyer.

Our Selling Your Home by Owner Program includes:

• Advising you on the “For Sale by Owner” process and sellers’ obligations;
• Preparing standard real estate disclosures;
• Drafting a Real Estate Sales Contract you can provide to serious potential buyers;
• Counseling you on, or directly handling, negotiating price and other contract terms;
• Modifying contract provisions or disclosures to address specific issues or concerns;
• Obtaining homeowner association and other documents;
• Handling post-contract/pre-closing inspections, financing requirements, requested repairs, title and survey needs, and other issues that may arise;
• Addressing non-real estate issues related to the sale; and
• Closing the sale.

Our Selling Your Home by Owner Program also includes all of the traditional attorney services needed for the sale of your home.  Our contract and other documents are tailored to your needs and your property so that you can provide your buyers with all they need to confidently make an offer to purchase your home, and then expeditiously move the sale to completion.  We do not act as a real estate broker, but rather provide you with all of the information and documentation you need so a potential buyer can make an offer to buy your home.
