We require payment in advance before we provide any services for new clients. Unless there are unforeseen costs (for example you want us to send documents to you via FedEx or UPS overnight) or developments or you hire us for additional services unrelated to the services contracted for in this Agreement, your advance payment should be the only amount you pay. We will send you an itemized invoice for all services.
Warning: We will not represent the seller unless the seller is paid in full at time of closing of the sale.

When do you want your purchase & sale contract?*

Which option do you want?

Option 1: We prepare the contract in before you have a deal. We send it to you in Word format with blanks so you can edit it when you have a deal. This method allows you to edit and complete the document when you have a buyer or seller ready to sign a contract. For example, if you have a buyer viewing your home on Sunday afternoon and the parties agree as to the terms of the sale you can immediately edit the contract, print it and get the signatures of both parties on the contract.

Option 2: After the parties agree in principle as to the terms, we prepare the purchase and sale agreement, but it may be several days before the parties are able to sign it.

Prepare the purchase and sale agreement asap and send it to me in editable Word format.
Wait and do not prepare the purchase and sale agreement until after I give you the go ahead.
