New Real Estate Service Company Established in Collegeville, Pennsylvania
Home Sale Services specializes in agreements of sale for sellers and buyers.
Collegeville, PA (PRWEB) January 4, 2006 -- A new real estate service company for home buyers and sellers, Home Sale Services, Inc., has opened its doors in Collegeville, Pennsylvania. The firm is owned by two attorneys, Thomas M. Keenan and Joseph A. Ciccitto, who specialize in real estate law.
Home Sale Services specializes in the preparation of agreements of sale for home buyers and sellers. "More and more people are selling and buying homes without using a realtor," states co-owner Thomas Keenan. "However, the Agreement of Sale is the most complicated and most important document in every real estate transaction. It's very important that it is prepared by a professional. As attorneys who have specialized in real estate law for over 20 years, we have the expertise to cover all possible contingencies and make sure our clients are protected under the agreement."
Home Sale Services charges a flat fee of just $750 to prepare an Agreement of Sale.
"In today's real estate market, if a seller uses a real estate broker for a house that goes for $300,000, the seller could pay approximately an $18,000 fee to the broker," Keenan said. "If he sells it himself and uses our services for an agreement of sale, he pays just the $750."
The Home Sale Services Agreement of Sale covers all aspects of the sale, including such items as mandatory inspection contingencies, risk of loss, default provisions, settlement cost responsibilities and credits, and items excluded from the sale, just to name a few.
Keenan points out that the Agreement of Sale protects your interests, whether you are the buyer or the seller of real estate. "If you are the seller," Keenan said, "it means that the buyer must fulfill his obligations and follow through with the obligations and terms of the agreement."
Keenan adds, "If you are the buyer, it ensures you will get what you bargained for - that the house is structurally sound, that you'll get your deposit back if you can't get a mortgage, that you'll be able to sell your house before buying the new one, and so forth."
The firm's website is http://www.homesaleserviceinc.com. The website gives full details about the items covered in the Agreement of Sale document. It also provides helpful information about how to sell or buy a home without the assistance of a real estate broker.
