Capabilities
Real estate commissions in a market
where the average price of $120,000.00 is high. Using just the
average purchase price, an average of $8,400.00 per sale is being
charged for a single real estate transaction. With such a loss,
both buyers and sellers are turning to alternative means of selling
or purchasing a home. The Internet is a good means. With
the alternatives does come certain risks, but that is where an attorney
can better protect you, and at much less costs.
Compare a realtor's course with those
classes required of an attorney for a Juris Doctorate Degree and there
is no comparison. Many realtors have not attended college, while
attorneys attend 4 years of undergraduate school and 3 years of law
school. In addition, attorney's are required to take continuing
legal classes. Some realtors work part-time; attorneys at our
firm do not.
Attorney's also know hidden risks
due to our experience in the courtroom. For example, do you
know that if you do not hire your inspector you cannot later sue your
inspector for a false or inaccurate report? Such a case existed,
where a potential buyer "purchased" the report from a former
potential buyer that failed to financially qualify. This purchase
was on the advice of a real estate agent. The report failed
to take into account any damage or revisions made between the time
it was made and the time the new buyers were purchasing the home.
Who to sue now? We sued the real estate agent for the bad advice,
and we sued the inspection company, but knew they could probably prove
a lack of contract between the parties.
So who do you trust? Come to
us. Call us at 317-848-3355. Do not risk your financial
future on the largest purchase you are likely to make in your lifetime.
