Are You Equity Smart?


During the President Bush and President Obama recession, we learned that Blacks and Hispanics were paying higher interest rates on their mortgages than Whites, even though they had better credit scores than Whites. We learned from the New York Times that Blacks and Hispanics were advised to file Chapter 13 bankruptcy applications rather than Chapter 7 bankruptcy applications, because attorneys made more money on Chapter 13 cases. Real estate brokers never represent the buyer, they represent the sellers; buyers did not know this, therefore, NYS laws were changed where disclosures were mandated for the buyers when working with brokers. Equity Smart, Inc., was created to help sellers and buyers preserve the equity in their homes and investment properties. Get an equity smart consultation! To also protect the equity in your home or investment property, you must understand real estate transactions, deed transfers and landlord and tenant law.

Referral Fees Paid

You put your faith in us when you refer a client to our firm, and we will honor a referral/co-counsel fee where allowed by state rules of professional conduct. Our referral fees present an opportunity to generate previously untapped revenue for attorneys and law firms who refer their cases to our team.
