Private home sale

If you are looking for an attorney to provide legal assistance and advice for a real estate transaction then William Ager should be your first and only choice! His knowledge, experience and legal expertise will save you more money than his legal fees. My son and I hired Mr. Ager when we purchased a... home in Gregory, Michigan. We were so impressed and pleased with his service that we hired him a second time when we sold the same home. William Ager is smart, thorough, professional, personable and honest. He treats everyone with dignity and respect and his integrity is beyond reproach. Mr. Ager will promptly keep you informed of his progress and always responds to phone calls, texts and emails very quickly. I can’t imagine that you can find another attorney that will provide you with the same service for twice the money. William Ager is quite simply the best attorney I have ever worked with!

Patient, Thorough, Professional, and Quality Service

At an emotional time when my grandmother passed and I was appointed to be her Personal Representative, Mr. Agar was kind, sensitive, and thorough in explaining the entire probate process to me. He worked with me patiently and fairly helping me to close out my grandmother’s estate. I can’t thank him... enough for the guidance, exceptional service, and professionalism he displayed. I highly recommend Agar Law for your Estate needs.

Very helpful and supportive

We worked with Bill to purchase a home and to sell a home FSBO. Bill was very detailed in explaining the process to us and advised us on each issue that arose. He was very quick to respond to questions and requests and we were so glad we had him to look over everything and protect our interests. H...e offers flat fees so you know what you are paying at the beginning. I would highly recommend his services to anyone needing an attorney for a real estate transaction.

Excellent help with For Sale By Owner

We recently used the services of William Ager for a FSBO real estate transaction. His help was excellent. First, he sat down with me, listened to my needs, and then carefully explained the entire sales process. He provided a sales contract agreement template. He provided expert advice during the ...sales process and routinely followed up via phone and email. He reviewed all the documents and advocated for my interests. William is very professional, polite, and proactive. He was always responsive. In the end, our home sale proceeded without issue. Thanks William!
