A Reasonable Flat-Rate Fee and No Commissions
At WaLaw Realty, we charge a flat fee – only $4,995 – for our included services (some transactions incur additional fees, listed below). This includes our real estate broker AND legal services. We rebate the entire commission to our buyer clients (minus a tax on the commission – 2.215% – which is paid to the state). Sellers simply save the difference between our fee and the “typical” commission.
When you hire us $500 is due up front. The balance of our fees is due when your house closes or at six months, whichever occurs first. Regardless of how long it takes to buy or sell your house, though, we still stick with you throughout the process. A month, a year or more – we’re standing by our agreement to give you our services for as long as it takes.
