Purchasing a home involves a lot of paperwork, most of which are contractual documents that will legally bind you to the numerous terms and conditions. For this reason it is important to have a good lawyer or notary public acting for you. Someone to protect your rights and interests.

Finding a Lawyer/ Notary Public

If you don't have a lawyer or notary public, you can look for a referral from friends, family or business acquaintances. Look for someone with real estate experience and discuss their fee scales. Your RE/MAX Centre City Agent can help you find a reliable professional, who you feel comfortable working with.

Lawyer’s/ Notary Public Function

You will need a lawyer or notary public to process your purchase and ensure the terms are met:
