hi all,

if i decided to sell a property by myself (that means no agent), after I have the confirmed buyer, is it ok to just engage a lawyer to keep the earnest fee and prepare the document ? (the document before the S & P. not sure what it is called)

if yes, how much is the normal cost for such a service?

ask him for 1% down payment after that u can engage your lawyer for the s&P

normally the buyer don't feel comfortable if give earnest fee to seller directly. so how to convince them ?

Talk to ur lawyer if the buyer pay the law firm then ask him to open case.If not just forget about it.

does the lawyer charge extra for this service if S & P go through same lawyer?

its ok to get a lawyer to do so. the fee usually varies but if you signing the snp and doing whole package with the lawyer,, the earnest deposit is part of the whole package and no extra fee will be incure.

Hi...What if buyer want a markup price? Is there anything that seller should concern? And is it SOMETHING WRONG to do such as we lie to the bank?
