Real Estate Questions

How much are legal fees for a home purchase?

We charge flat fees for residential real estate transactions. Contact us for a current fee schedule — pricing is transparent with no hidden charges at closing.

What are typical closing costs?

Closing costs include land transfer tax, legal fees, title insurance, disbursements, and possible adjustments. For a detailed estimate, contact us before you commit.

How long does a closing take?

Typical residential closings take 30–60 days from offer acceptance. Refinances close within 2–3 weeks.

What is title insurance and do I need it?

Title insurance protects you from title defects, fraud, survey issues, and other ownership problems. It’s strongly recommended and arranged as part of standard closing.

Do I need a lawyer for a refinance?

Yes. Refinancing requires title searches, new mortgage registration, and title insurance updates. We handle refinances efficiently with flat-fee pricing.

Can you handle a condo purchase?

Yes. Condo purchases require review of the status certificate, bylaws, and reserve fund. We handle all of it as part of standard condo closing.
