Real Estate Buyers

For most people, the purchase or sale of a home is one of the most significant financial transactions they will ever undertake, and having the right people in place to help guide you through the process – qualified advisers such as real estate agents, accountants and lawyers – can and will make the process that much easier.

When you choose McMurter & Associates to provide legal services, our team walks you through each of the stages of your real estate purchase to make sure that you understand what is expected of you, and to ensure that you get what you bargained for.

We strive to deliver our services with “No Surprises”.

Our Services

Our work begins after the conditions, such as financing, have been met. As your legal representatives, we will handle the legal work associated with the home purchase to protect your interests. We take care of details such as:

  • Reviewing the agreement of purchase and sale
  • Reviewing the documents prepared by the vendor
  • Conducting a title search
  • Ensuring no liens on the property title for taxes or utilities
  • Arranging for title insurance

At all times, you are encouraged to keep in touch with us. We work for you, and we know that you may have many questions that we can answer. We are here to help.

Fees

Legal fees will vary depending on the complexity and price of your real estate transaction. In addition to legal fees, there are other costs associated with a home purchase. We will provide you with an accurate cost breakdown, dependent upon your situation.

First-time home buyers are entitled to a special rate. First time buyers may also be entitled to a reduction in Land Transfer Tax up to $4,000.00.
