McGill assists buyers and sellers by reviewing their real estate contracts and transaction documents, or by preparing the documents for them when the seller and buyer have come to terms.

A licensed real estate broker who is a member of the California Association of Realtors can help a seller prepare the property for sale, market the property, gain valuable exposure through the multiple listing service, inspect the property and disclose defects, protect a seller from liability arising from a real estate transaction, and many other services which attorneys do not provide.
