How pricing works here
Every service shows its real starting price. Monthly fees are flat, agreed before the first month, and month to month — no annual contract. Projects are quoted in writing after a free records review, and the quoted price is the price. Final fees depend on transaction volume and the state of the records, and you'll know yours before any work begins.
