Real Estate Purchases and Sales

Whether you are a first time buyer or seasoned property owner, we can help you with your next real estate transaction. Through our affiliated settlement company, Ally Settlement Co.,  we will assist you in the purchase of real estate and sit at the closing table next to you. As a title agent for Old Republic National Title Insurance Company, we will issue title policies to protect both you and your lender from claims or defects in title that could result in burdensome loss. 

In situations where title insurance or a title search is not necessary, we can prepare a deed to transfer property. This typically involves a transfer between family members, such as parents to child. We can talk through the tax consequences of gifting your house, including weighing the potential capital gains that may be passed onto the recipient versus the future inheritance taxes that may be due if you retain title to your house. We will also ensure that all municipal requirements are satisfied as part of any deed transfer. This could include a dye test and occupancy permit.  

Many times an owner may wish to try to sell his/her/their property without the assistance of a real estate agent. If you are looking to sell your property without a real estate agent or looking to buy a property for sale by owner, we can walk you through each step in the process. This includes completing the seller disclosure statement, lead based paint disclosure, and agreement of sale.
