Many law firms do this and publish for the sake of informing the public aaaaannndddd advertising their services those potentially impacted and in need of consultation.)I have no problem taking care of people in times of need; in fact, I think the hallmark of any good government is to care for the masses when it is called upon.

These may include•helping you price your property•advertising and marketing your property•giving you all required property disclosure forms for you to complete•negotiatingfor you the best possible price and terms•reviewing all written offers with you and•otherwise promoting your interests.For representing you and helping you sell your property, you will pay the listing firm a sales commission or fee.
