PACKAGE OPTIONS

Document Review

At Mulfinger Law Group we offer a document review service which includes providing the necessary disclosure forms, assisting with a listing package and all of the consultation and counseling aspects detailed in the Document Preparation service below. We answer all of your questions and offer our advice about negotiating a real estate sale as below, but here you need to have the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) forms necessary, or receive an offer on MLS paperwork.  We do not draft the forms for you and the contract must be on the MLS paperwork, which is the case with the vast majority of transactions. When you receive an offer we review it for you and then we discuss the paperwork and the process.  We make sure you are protected and have provided the necessary disclosures and forms required by law.  We explain what is in the contract documents and how that impacts your interests. We answer any questions you may have about the offer itself, the paperwork or the selling process so that you can fully understand the contract.  The fee includes review of all offers you receive until you accept one and the house is under contract, and you are free to ask me follow up questions throughout the transaction which includes questions about the inspection and the closing process.
