Disclosures and Transaction Coordination
There are over 15 disclosures and sales documents required in a typical house sale. Berg Properties offers transaction coordination services for $645. This service is optional but is strongly recommended as it facilitates a smoother process of communication between you, the buyer, the buyer’s agent, and escrow and title companies. The cost is paid out of escrow only if the property closes. WE DO NOT GET PAID IF THE PROPERTY DOES NOT CLOSE. So we could put in many hours of work after you accept an offer and if the property does not close we do not charge you for any costs incurred during the transaction.
The service includes:
- Open escrow upon request, or coordinate the opening of escrow and obtain file number.
