This agreement includes contingencies that must be met and disclosures that must be provided before the sale can be finalized. The purpose of a purchase and sale agreement is to ensure that both parties are protected during this process.

Many parties choose to hire an experienced real estate attorney to draft a purchase and sale agreement. If you are wondering how much it will cost to have an attorney draft this contract, you are not alone.

It is important that a client asks the attorney what is covered in the flat rate. Additional charges could arise from client meetings, communications, or revisions that are not included in the flat rate.

"I had the pleasure of working with Nancy on a commercial lease for our Business, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From our initial consultation to the final signing, her professionalism, deep knowledge of real estate law, and attention to detail were outstanding. What impressed me most was the clear and consistent communication. She took the time to walk me through all clause of the lease on which we had concerns, answered all my questions promptly, and made sure I fully understood my rights and obligations and also suggested modification which would help me as a Tenant. Her expertise helped negotiate favorable terms and avoid potential pitfalls I wouldn’t have caught on my own.
