Q: How long will my case last and how much will it cost me?
A: Litigation takes time and costs money. The goal is to achieve resolution
of your matter in an economical and timely manner. The factors that determine
how long your case will last and how much it will cost are outside of
my control and involves the motivation,finances and reasonableness of
the opposing party and the opposing party's relationship with opposing
counsel. If the opposing party and opposing attorney are unreasonable,
stubborn, and acrimonious, be prepared for the long haul with the resolution
of your matter coming only after a trial. -John

Q: In Real Estate Terms, What is a (CMA) Comparative Market Analysis?
A: A comparative market analysis (CMA) is usually a document that is
prepared by a Real Estate professional like myself to help determine the
selling price of a home by comparing it to recently sold homes in the
same area of similar size and styles. To create a CMA, I look at the price
of recently sold, active, and expired listings that are similar (comparable)
to the home that you are wanting to sell and come up with the range of
what your home should sell for.
There are two typical situations where a CMA is essential in Real Estate.
When you are wanting to list your home with a Professional (Myself).
To help my buyer determine if a home they are interested in is a good
deal or not and help them determine an appropriate purchase price.
CMA’S usually are a free service by Real Estate Professionals like Myself. -Phillip Lawrence
Q: What are the 3 Steps to buy a home?
A: There are 3 Major steps in buying a home and you are usually helped
by 3 Professionals along the way.
There are 3 major phases in the home buying process along with many small
ones. It doesn’t matter if you are a first-time buyer or if you have
done it before the process is usually the same. Three professionals typically
help with this process. The answers are simplified, and you can get more
detailed answers by contacting myself or any of the professionals I will
mention.
Step 1. Find a Lender this is the first process. A lender will
run your credit, give you a pre-qualification letter on what the price
range you can purchase.
Step 2. Find a Real Estate Professional (hopefully myself), A Real
Estate Broker will compile a list of homes based upon your pre-approval
from the lender and then take you to those homes till you have chosen
the right home for you. Then the Real Estate Broker will write and negotiate
this offer till it is a fully executed contract to purchase. This broker
will schedule the necessary inspections and milestones thru the buying
process to the closing table.
Step 3. Find a Attorney. An attorney will review the Contract to
purchase and make sure you are protected and able to purchase the home
with a fully clear title and deed to the property.
Remember these are the basic steps for information contact a Real Estate
Professional (myself) or any other of the 3 Professionals I have mentioned.
