Please allow us to introduce you to our law firm and title company, whose main concentrations are in : (1) the practice of real estate law, (2) service to real estate brokers and their clients and (3) the providing of title insurance at the most competitive rates allowed by law.

        We, as experienced attorneys with an experienced staff, know how to get the transaction closed -- efficiently, quickly and thoroughly. We realize that closing the transaction is the ultimate goal, and therefore we will provide you and your clients with our ability and experience to reach that end. Further, we are able to provide you and your clients with the services, the skills and if necessary, the problem-solving abilities of seasoned attorneys, all within the price range and at the speed of a title company. In this regard, calculate and compare our rates using the Barnes Walker Real Estate Closing Cost Good Faith Estimate software here at our web site. Please feel free to prepare and print out Good Faith Estimates for your clients using our software.

        Since we value your referral and your time, we offer the following special services to you and your clients at no additional charge:

        1.     Pickup of the sales contract and other relevant documents from your office to begin the closing process;

        2.     Conducting the closing at your office under your auspices, if you request;

        3.     Free consultation to your clients anytime your clients have a legal problem or question concerning a contract or a contract dispute;

        4.     "One Stop Shopping" -- if you desire, we will order and obtain the survey, termite inspection and/or appraisal at competitive rates, as well as arrange for consultations with selected lenders for financing;

        5.     Preparing all documents, spotting and resolving any problems that arise, and handling legal requests of your clients (if possible);

        6.     To better serve your clients, only attorneys will close your transactions; and

        Additionally, we have a state of the art new building with numerous parking spaces right outside the entrance which accommodates all handicapped persons as the building is A.D.A. compliant. We are proud of this building because it serves our sellers, buyers, and real estate agents with ease and professionalism in a way no other facility in the county can. We have numerous designated closing rooms (with sophisticated phones and computer hookups) to assure that each closing gets the special touch it deserves. We also have a dedicated real estate laser fax machine to prevent back logs. By offering you and your clients these services, we hope to let you concentrate on what you do best -- selling property.

        Finally, we at Barnes Walker are extremely proud of our high market share as monitored and published monthly through Market Analysis, Inc. Our company has been in existence only since May 1, 1995, yet we have maintained a standing as the largest closing agent in Manatee County for the last four years. In the calendar year of 1999 alone, Barnes Walker closed six hundred and twenty plus sales and resales alone, excluding refinances and construction loans which are in addition to the sales and resales. We do this by providing our consistently high quality of service and by concentrating on getting the deal closed. We are proud of all of our value-added services and by concentrating on getting the deal closed. We are proud of all of our value-added services and products provided by attorneys and paralegals, which translate into the ability to get the deal done when all seems lost.

        To give you and your clients more information about ourselves, our firm, our other areas of practice, and the resources at our disposal (such as on-line computer connections to title insurance company land records and governmental databases), please tour the remainder of our web site.
