Gift for Great Attorneys?


Hi – I just closed (today, yay!) on a condo after a grueling wait for city paperwork and mortgage financing to clear. My attorney was beyond fantastic and the sponsor’s attorney was so great I felt like she was also on my side (in the sense that she really wanted to make this deal happen too). She really went to bat for me with the bank. Is it customary to give thank-you gifts beyond the legal fee I am paying? Or maybe it is expected, in which case I’d like to know so I can be extra nice to these two attorneys.

thanks!

Inspection for new construction?


Hi – I’m near to closing on my new condo…do I need an inspector to look it over since the sponsor is responsible for the building? Getting an inspector for new construction is common practice in other cities, but my attorney here says I shouldn’t spend a lot of money on this since it is new.

Throwing away large items


I’ll be moving in the next couple months and was wondering how to get rid of some of the larger item I don’t want Imy old TV, bed, sofa, antique wardrobe).

Obviouslu I’ll see if anyone on craig’s list wants tehm, but if they don’t, how do I throw them away? Is there a service? How expensive is it? In other cities movers have taken old items (I don’t know what they did with them).
