Short accounts of the kind of work we do. Names and some details are changed.
Cleared
Judgment lien on a Mesa condo
A 2004 judgment against a former owner surfaced nine days before closing. The creditor's successor signed a release once we showed the lien had expired.
2025 · Sample matter
Closing moved by two days.
$7,500
Earnest money returned to a Phoenix buyer
The buyer cancelled inside the inspection period. The seller refused to release the deposit until we pointed to the notice's date and the contract's terms.
2025 · Sample matter
Gross amount, before our flat fee.
Deferred
Tucson fourplex traded for two condos
The intermediary held the proceeds; both condos were identified on day 22 and closed on day 140.
2024 · Sample matter
Tax treatment depended on the client's own return; their CPA advised on it.
Recorded
Seller in Flagstaff, buyer in Ohio
Both signed by video with a mobile notary at each end. The deed recorded the afternoon the funds arrived.
2025 · Sample matter
Timing depends on the lender and the county recorder.
Settled
A Prescott lot with a fence over the line
A neighbor's fence sat four feet onto our client's lot. A recorded boundary agreement ended it without a lawsuit.
2024 · Sample matter
The survey was the client's cost, outside our flat fee.
$3,200
Repair credit for a Glendale buyer
The seller's disclosure left out a roof leak the inspector found. The buyer took a credit at closing instead of walking away.
2025 · Sample matter
Gross credit, before our flat fee.
Withdrawn
HOA fines on a Chandler townhome
The board had approved the owner's shade structure years earlier. Our letter attached the approval, and the fines were withdrawn before the hearing.
2025 · Sample matter
The owner paid our flat dispute fee; the association paid nothing.
Corrected
A Flagstaff deed with the wrong lot number
The 1990s deed described the neighboring lot. A corrective deed from the original sellers' heirs fixed it before a refinance.
2024 · Sample matter
Results turn on who can still sign.
Sample matters, shown to illustrate the work. Past results don't guarantee a similar outcome; every property, contract and title is different.
