Buying or selling a home is one of the largest financial transactions of your life. In Illinois, residential contracts include an attorney review period — and having an attorney in your corner from day one means you are protected at every step, not just at the closing table.
We provide full-service representation for residential buyers and sellers across Illinois. Standard agent-assisted representation is $750; multi-unit or investment closings are $950; and estate, trust, or nonstandard-title closings are $1,250. Each fee is due at closing rather than upfront.
Selling For Sale By Owner is a different engagement. With no listing agent involved, we also handle the coordination an agent would normally carry, from drafting the contract through the closing table. FSBO representation is a flat $1,500, paid at closing out of the sale proceeds.
No hourly billing. No surprise invoices. Just clear, flat-fee representation from contract to keys.
What We Handle for You
Everything from the first contract review through closing day — all included in the flat fee.
Contract Review
We review your purchase or sale contract in detail during the attorney review period, flagging unfavorable terms and negotiating modifications to protect your position.
Attorney Review Period
Illinois contracts provide a 5-business-day attorney review window. We use this time to review, modify, or void the contract on your behalf before you are legally bound.
Title Review
We examine the title commitment for liens, encumbrances, or defects that could affect the transaction and work to resolve any issues before closing.
Negotiation
From repair credits to closing date adjustments, we negotiate on your behalf throughout the transaction — not just during the attorney review period.
Closing Statement Review
We review the closing disclosure and settlement statement to verify that all charges, credits, and prorations are accurate before you sign anything.
Closing Attendance
Your attorney attends the closing in person or remotely to review final documents, answer questions, and make sure everything is handled correctly.
Know Your Legal Fee Before the Transaction Begins
Every package has a concrete flat price, with nothing due upfront. Sellers can generally deduct the attorney fee from proceeds at the closing table.
