Real Estate Law · DuPage County, Illinois
Residential and commercial closings handled with care from contract to keys, so the details are covered before you sign.
Most sellers focus on listing price, staging, and getting offers. The attorney’s job starts when those offers come in. Reviewing buyer contingencies, negotiating attorney-review modifications, responding to inspection demands, resolving title issues that surface during the sale — all happen between offer and closing.
We represent sellers across DuPage County and the western suburbs. Many of our seller clients later use us for their next purchase. Same flat-fee pricing, same direct attorney access, same focus on closing on time.
From accepted offer to keys handed over.
Review buyer’s offer, negotiate counteroffers and attorney-review modifications.

Before listing if possible, so we can review the listing agreement. At the latest, the moment you receive your first offer.
You don’t have to. The inspection contingency lets the buyer walk if you don’t agree, but it also lets you decline unreasonable demands and let them walk. Negotiation depends on market conditions and how much you want the deal.
