• The big surprise is that fees for representing buyers and sellers in the purchase and sale of residential real estate can be capped by agreement so that there will be no last minute surprises at the closing.
  
  
• There should be no hesitation in hiring a real estate attorney when you are about to make the largest purchase in your life.
  
  
• Fees for other types of matters such as condominium conversions, zoning variances, evictions, leases, and various kinds of litigation can be set on a case by case basis. You may select flat fees, hourly, contingent fee (a percentage of recovery) or any combination of above.
