Following are some of the services this law firm provides in Elk Grove Village, Schaumburg, and the surrounding area. Please contact our attorneys today to learn more about your options.
COMMERCIAL SALE/ACQUISITION/LEASE
Commercial real estate transactions, whether involving industrial, office, retail, multi-family, or other property types, have unique demands and significantly higher liability exposure for both sides than residential transactions. The attorneys at Naumann & Associates know what it takes to protect both sellers and buyers in commercial real estate transactions, and we provide that protection without breaking the bank. Our fees for commercial transactions are generally flat fees at a fraction of a percent of the contract sales price.
SELLING RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE
2. Inspection negotiation;
3. Title clearance (including payoffs, association requirements, and transfer stamps);
4. Document preparation and execution; and
5. Representation at closing.
We charge a flat fee for residential real estate sales payable from the transaction proceeds at closing. Whenever possible, we encourage our clients to contact us briefly even before they get the first contract offer to get some of our best “inside” guidance.
BUYING RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE
1. Contract negotiation;
2. Inspection negotiation;
3. Loan monitoring/contingency compliance; and
4. Representation at closing.
We charge a flat fee for residential real estate sales payable from the total funds you pay at closing.
SHORT SALES
Having negotiated numerous short sales, Naumann & Associates is prepared to help you sell your property with minimum liability—and in many cases, no liability—from you to your lender or lenders after the completion of the transaction. Our staff has extensive experience and a thorough understanding of the entire closing process, including all of the many factors that contribute to the financial aspects of the transaction. We will always work with sellers to negotiate a deficiency waiver with all of your lenders and lien holders and to make our fee payable from the transaction proceeds, not from your pocket. Best of all, our attorneys charge no up-front fees for short sales.
