Seller’s Attorney Practice Tip: Show Your Work Regarding Prorations
Posted: under Sellers.
Tags: Seller's attorney
I have a residential closing tomorrow afternoon and just got a fax from the Seller’s attorney with his closing statement (which is somewhat standard) but he also included a page where he shows specifically how he calculated the real estate tax proration credit (often 105% or 110% of the last full year’s taxes). I like the gesture…it saves me some time and takes the guesswork out. It’s not a huge thing if I don’t see the math but then I’d have to pull a property tax bill, look at the contract, and get out a calculator.
Always striving for the perfect transaction…maybe tomorrow afternoon? 30 minutes with no snafoos?
