Proof that Realtors Charge Too Much!

FULL SERVICE. Have a lawyer do everything  that a Realtor does and save money. Full service that exceeds the service of a Realtor.

READ THE REVIEWS 

  • Buyers.  Full MLS access and FULL SERVICE. I only get paid if I collect the commission and refund it to you (less my legal fees).
  • Sellers. Learn how to avoid paying buyer brokers. I will represent you throughout the entire process. MLS, Zillow, and all the local brokerage sites.
  • Luxury or Executive Homes. Why would you trust a multi-million dollar transaction to a non-lawyer? And why would you pay $50,000 or more in commissions?
  • New Construction. Nearly all builders pay 2.7% to buyer brokers just for having their name registered. Register my name as your Realtor and I will save you thousands and provide legal representation throughout the entire transaction.
