How Legal Fees are Paid
Our aim is to have approved legal fees shown on the settlement statement and paid at closing. When equity is limited, we pursue options such as:
Negotiated buyer contributions and closing cost structures
Investor purchases (as-is) to shorten timelines
Short-sale approvals with documented fee disbursements
(Arrangements depend on case facts, court approval, and counterparties.)
Court Ordered Sale of a Property
Selling Homes to Settle Your Cases
Is your client facing bankruptcy, divorce, or court ordered guardianship sale? We can guarantee your legal fees will be paid with the sale of their home through conventional methods or our vast network of home investors that are able to purchase homes as-is.
Legal fees are carved out of sales proceeds regardless of lack of equity.
Appraisal partnerships capable of five business day delivery. Legal cost paid directly from Escrow to ensure speedy payment of legal fees.
We can clear liens, disconnected utilities, city levied fines, and any expenses that can prevent the home sale.
Affiliated contractors capable of small or major home repairs with quick turn around and quality finishes.
Removal of heavy or hazardous materials such as paraphernalia and trash.
Removal of biohazards such as human bodily fluids, fecal matter, and animal waste.
The Real Estate Experts You Want In Your Corner
Russell Real Estate Group delivers end-to-end execution on complex, court-directed sales so you stay on legal strategy. With more than two decades of experience across short sales, bargain and sale deeds, fiduciary and guardianship matters, and distressed property dispositions, we move files with discipline, documentation, and a single point of accountability.
Court-Ordered Guidelines
We structure purchase contracts to reflect required court language, notice periods, overbid rules where applicable, and confirmation steps. The goal is simple: reduce rework, prevent post-approval surprises, and protect the record.
We Do The Dirty Work
If condition or access is the bottleneck, we handle it. Biohazard and infectious waste, paraphernalia, rodents or insects, mold, heavy debris, expired food, and unsafe rooms are remediated and cleared. When a retail path is selected, we scope minor refreshes or targeted repairs to reach buyer-ready condition. When speed is the priority, we deploy an as-is investor.
Professionalism
Title, escrow, and payoff alignment. Inspections, verifications, and disclosures tracked to deadline. Lien, utility, and city fine resolution. Contingency control and buyer management. Weekly status you can drop into the file, with one accountable contact from intake to settlement.
