Hiring Fitzgerald Law Offices to represent you on the sale of your property will save you time and limit your liability. During the course of a normal sale our representation includes the following:

• Negotiating and preparing the Offer to Purchase and Purchase and Sale Agreement to protect your interests and concerns;
• Resolving issues which may arise during the pendency of your sale;
• Explaining the mortgage process and assist you in understanding just what your buyer’s or lender’s requirements mean to you;
• Assisting you in resolving and clearing any issues that may be found in the examination of your property’s title;
• Preparing the deed from you to your buyer;
• Assisting in the coordination of the closing and represent you at the closing, review all closing documents and explain their meaning and significance to you; and
• Answer questions you might have and resolve disputes that may arise at any time during the closing process.

If you are selling a property in order to purchase a new property soon thereafter Fitzgerald Law Offices can represent you under Power of Attorney. By executing a Power of Attorney you will grant authority to us to sign for you at the closing, enabling you time to prepare for your purchase closing and move.

Fitzgerald Law Offices can assist you if your sale is part of a 1031 Tax Deferred Exchange. A 1031 tax-deferred exchange is a method allowed by Internal Revenue Code (IRC) §1031, whereby an owner of certain investment or business property may defer paying capital gains taxes on the sale of such property if the owner acquires "like kind" property within a certain period of time.
