In the case of transfers of residential real estate, we typically charge a flat fee ranging from $400 to $900, depending upon the number of parcels transferred, the location of the property and closing office and the complexity of the transaction. The services included for these transactions are drafting or reviewing contract documents, ordering and reviewing title commitments, preparation of necessary closing documents and attending closings. Price quotes are given upon request at the time we are hired.
Occasionally, our review of contract documents reveals matters which require additional work to resolve. These may be things such as contract inspections which lead to requests for repairs from buyer to seller, title exceptions which must be removed in order to clear title to be transferred from seller to buyer, survey defects which necessitate negotiations with neighboring land owners and the like. In the unlikely event that one of these matters arises, additional time spent to dispose of it would be charged at our current hourly rate in addition to the fees referred to above.
