From lead to closing

What we do, and how you can help.

Five steps, each with a clear owner, so you and your seller always know where things stand.

StepWhat we doHow you can help
01Initial review We review records, title, closed sales and zoning, and tell you quickly whether the property fits. Send the address, price, units and whatever you know about condition and rents.
02Site visit A principal visits the property, usually with a contractor, to confirm scope and budget. Arrange access to every unit, the basement and the roof if possible.
03Offer A written offer with financing arranged, or a prompt, clear answer if the property is not a fit. Tell us what matters most to your seller: price, speed or certainty.
04Contract Clear, simple terms reviewed promptly by our counsel. Help gather leases, permits and disclosures so there are no surprises at closing.
05Closing We close on the agreed date, typically within 30 to 45 days. Keep your seller informed. We will keep you informed at every step.
