So why a real estate broker? "It was a desire to take a more proactive role in problem solving and conflict avoidance. Lawyers and judges agree that our court systems are failing. We are also becoming a culture of "Do it yourselfers" which is having disastrous consequences. Our intent is to offer legal expertise that is covered by the cost of the broker's commission. Few brokers have the knowledge as to how to avoid legal pitfalls and don't want to share commissions. Sounds greedy but it is true. In addition, now they have do it your self "Apps" for everything. If your buying or selling high dollar commercial or residential real estate, you don't want to represent your self. As Lincoln said, ' He who represent himself has a fool for a client'" Charles Farano

Buying or selling a property can be full of traps and surprises that can cost thousands in litigation fees. That's why we go above and beyond to make the process smooth and eliminate as many surprises as possible. With our expertise and commitment, you can trust us to get the job done right.
Transactions that go bad and that wind up in court allow the trial lawyers to make thousands of dollars which happens because the parties or the broker did not get legal advice. "For years, I made my living as a litigator and trial attorney trying to correct problems that could have been prevented by proper legal representation. I still can't guarantee a risk free transaction, but 45 years in the trenches has enabled me to be able to spot issues ahead of time and take the right steps to guard against them."
Many real estate transactions that are structured without solid legal advice wind up in court. Our court systems are failing miserably and court and legal fees cost thousands of dollars Usually, the legal fees are covered by the broker's commission. With our system, we do our best to keep the client out of court for a reasonable price. After 45 years of experience, I can tell you what you need after a few minutes on the telephone or on a "Zoom" call.
