I can work with you through

FSBO (For Sale By Owner) Chicago

If you have found a home to buy or are selling your home without a real estate broker, it is absolutely essential that you have an experienced real estate attorney to assist and guide you through the process.  In this situation, a real estate attorney will take on additional responsibilities.  One of the most important responsibilities is negotiating.  It is often difficult and ill advised to try to negotiate the price and terms of an FSBO (for sale by owner) contract because as a buyer or seller, the emotions of the deal can make even the most experienced buyer or seller act irrationally.  Without a real estate broker, the attorney as a go-between negotiator takes on great importance.
