WHY USE AN “ATTORNEY DRIVEN” BROKERAGE COMPANY

The purchase and/or sale of a home is generally the most significant financial transaction most of us will ever be involved in.  As you may already know, the amount of paperwork is very extensive and involves many legally complicated forms that you will need to understand.  Unless you have legal help, your dream house can quickly become a nightmare.

An “attorney driven” brokerage company simply means that the company is owned and operated by a California licensed attorney who is also a licensed real estate broker.  The most obvious benefit to using an attorney driven brokerage company is your peace of mind in knowing that your transaction is being reviewed by a real estate attorney who is available to answer your questions and who will assist and guide you through the legal quagmire of negotiating the transaction and the contracts and associated disclosures involved in your real estate transaction.  Also, unlike a traditional real estate brokerage firm, at Oakwood we will never engage in “dual” representation (i.e., representing both the buyer and seller of a home), which insures that all of our attention and loyalty is to only you.  Best of all, we do this at no extra charge to you.  Our compensation, including our attorney/broker’s time is paid from the same commission paid by the seller.
