FOR SALE BY OWNER CLOSINGS

Satel Law guides our clients through For Sale By Owner closings. Involving a real estate attorney is the best way to protect yourself and your rights, whether you are the buyer or the seller. An attorney helps you protect your investment and assets while ensuring that you’re conducting your side of the transaction legally.

Specifically, it is vital to have attorney representation when any of the following complications occur:

• Liens
• Joint sale
• Short sale
• Estate sale

During the sale/purchase process, there are a number of documents that should be carefully prepared or reviewed by a real estate attorney. These include:

• Purchase and sale contract
• Real estate transfer deed
• Certificate of Non-Foreign Status for purposes of tax withholding
• Closing statement
• Mortgage contract
• Homeowner’s Association documentation
• Review of disclosures (property conditions, upgrades, hazards, nuisances, etc.)

Real estate transactions can be very complicated, especially when there are questions of title, property distress, judgments or liens involved. Satel Law is ready to help you cut through the red tape and ensure a fair and legal transaction for all parties.
