Handling a Tricky Real Estate Closing

I recently used Ms. Hardee for the closing on the sale of my home. There were several tricky aspects of this closing including the fact that the attorney who handled a re-finance 20 years ago did not properly record the deed changes. Ms. Hardee is the ultimate professional. She persisted in he...r follow up on this problem until it was solved. Of course, the bank in question had been absorbed four times due to mergers, so she had to follow this chain to get the necessary information. There were other issues, including the buyer's attorney not understanding a special agricultural status of my property. Where I would have expressed my frustration, she continued to handle these issues with grace and the provision of the legal information needed to finally educate him. Throughout, Ms. Hardee kept me informed, coordinated with my realtor and moved the process to the final conclusion, i.e., actually closing on the designated date and making sure that everything was in order. While Real Estate closings are often routine, this one was not. Ms. Hardee's expert handling of this indicates to me that she is very intellligent, has wide ranging understanding of the legal process, the perseverance to explore all angles of an issue, and the ability to deal professionally with many different personalities. And her integrity is beyond reproach. I highly recommend Ms. Hardee. I feel confident that my case was handled in a thorough, professional and intelligent manner. I am sure that Ms. Hardee would be an asset to any legal process, including those much more complex than real estate closings.

Unknown lawyer | Nov 17

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Felicity has a wealth of experience in several different areas of the law. She practiced for many years at Springfield's largest firm, initially working as a litigator (actually trying cases, unlike some who call themselves litigators). She then concentrated for several years in environmental law before focusing more directly on real estate law. Given her wide and varied background, she can effectively and efficiently handle a great variety of legal matters. And she's a terrific person to boot!"
