Counseling our Sellers on the Do’s and Don’ts once they sign the P&S Agreement to avoid any missteps which can cause closing delays that ends up costing time & money.

This is a quick list of 5 things Sellers should NOT do once they sign the P&S Agreement otherwise known as the Executory period:
1)Do not payoff your mortgage because we will not have a discharge in time
2) Do not draw on the open line of credit (unless you tell your attorney), so the payoff reflects it
3) Do not cancel the homeowners insurance, the contract requires you keep the home insured
4) Do not change your drivers license from RI because it will trigger a 6% non-resident tax
5) Do not pay any bills unless you discuss it with your attorney so that you can time the disbursements

Call us today if you need seller representation in RI, MA or CT, 401-885-3800

Hiring an Attorney to protect you with legal research about the home, known as a title search is a non-negotiable! This due diligence cannot be seen but inheriting a title issue is not something you want to hear about after you own the home.

We posted a BTS video about title today, check it out Melissa DEllena.

What is an Escrow account? Many first time home buyers have rarely ever seen an escrow account - and even the word is confusing because it has various meanings in a real estate transaction.

Understanding the way that real estate taxes & insurance flow through an escrow account is one of my most important jobs!

Contact us with any questions about your escrow account.

Most people don’t realize this…

The biggest risks in a real estate transaction are buried in the contract.

That’s where a real estate attorney makes the difference! Experience the DEllena Difference; We listen. We ask questions. We draft and negotiate with your best interests in mind.

Because no two buyers, sellers, or deals are the same and your contract shouldn’t be either.

If you’re buying or selling in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, or Connecticut, make sure you have legal counsel that goes beyond the basics.
