Attorney Fees<br />

Typically, the fees for these services are assessed on a flat fee schedule, determined<br />

by the details of the sale — is the home new construction? Is it a short<br />

sale? The fee will vary based on circumstances, but expect to pay anywhere<br />

between $1200-$1800 for a residential closing. These fees are very similar<br />

among all local lawyers; shopping around will save a maximum of $200, so<br />

the attorney’s fees should be among the less significant considerations when<br />

selecting your representation.<br />

A retainer of between $200-300 is paid when the lawyer first accepts your<br />

case, with the balance due at closing. If the contract falls through for any reason,<br />

the retainer is the entire compensation the lawyer receives.<br />
