This is a 20-minute call. We cover as much as we can and stop at twenty minutes. If more is needed, we will say what the next step is and what it would cost.

What people bring to a 20-minute call
Typical situations, not quotes — not tied to any one person.
- An accepted offer with a clause or condition that isn't clear before you sign
- A closing date coming up fast, with questions about what still needs to happen
- A status certificate or title search result that raised something you don't understand
- A mortgage renewal or refinance with terms that don't look like what you expected
