We have a private buyer for our float week at water's edge in Ct.
We went there today to fill out paperwork. The buyer is paying a $500 fee to water's edge to handle the sale. We figured we'd just show up, sign some papers and be done. Not quite.
We were asked for the notorized deed drawn up by our lawyer. We don't have that. All we have is our deed with our name on it.
We were told that we need to take that to an attorney and have a deed transfer drawn up. This of course will cost around 300 bucks.
Is there a way around this? Can we get a blank form and fill it out ourselves?
We are only getting $1000 dollars and I'd hate to give a big chunk of it away to a lawyer.
We own our week outright. Finished making payments on it over 10 years ago. So there is no mortgage or lien issues. There are also no payment escrow issues. Infact the buyer has already written us a check.
I have read about companies that handle the entire process for less than $500 dollars and am tempted to have my buyer give his money to one of them rather than water's edge.
Any advice would be appreciated.
