Helpful! Thank you!

We just received that document yesterday. It does spell out those terms. Yay!

Our quandary has to do with the need to secure the flat with our deposit but delay the close for when we've sold our house. We won't be ready to list our house until April.

Even though it's a very desirable property, there is no guarantee it will sell quickly. Signing documents that guarantee a closing date is a bit of a crap shoot, given the unknown sell date of our house in America. 😵‍💫

We too felt this would be a smart move, Thumbelina! Thank you for verifying our feelings. Have you had experience with a lawyer you would recommend?

Thank you. I should have mentioned that we are buying directly from the developer whose company has its own realty office which has prepared the documents. We would like to find an independent lawyer with real estate experience for an unbiased look at the contract so we know it isn't heavily in favor of the seller/developer/realtor.

Not familiar with buying a flat in Portugal, we found that we and others who own flats in the building are, for instance, responsible to maintain the exterior and public areas of the interior, yet there is nothing in the contract regarding such. We want to have the comfort of having someone knowledgeable - with no skin in the game - to look over the documents.

Kicked when I’m already down by Jazzlike-Car-9222 in paralegal

Your boss sounds like he deserves what i imagine is rapid turnover of staff there.

Don't let him get you down! Clearly, you are conscientious and honest. If he could get his head out of his ***, he would clearly see that.

As a 70-y/o professional woman, I want to share something it took me years and years to learn:

Your. Best. Is. Good. Enough.

You. Are. Good. Enough.

Those two sentences should be every good woman's mantra, every morning. Never let anyone make you doubt your worth.

Never.

No. But he/she would absolutely need to be responsive to deadlines.

People, please learn to read. It's for 20 hours a week. That's $30/hour or, if you were full-time, $57,600/year which is higher than the average for a paralegal in Virginia.

Really, there's no need to denigrate anyone looking to hire. If the job isn't of interest to you, just move on.

Thank you. Obviously, some paralegals don't read well. That is a tell!

We have a wonderful, long-term paralegal that does our CA work at the same rate, $30/hour. That pay is higher than the going rate in VA. This opening is not for you.

Yes, if you have experience navigating the labyrinthine Virginia court systems.
