Lynette J McKenzie

Lynette is very thorough. She kept us fully informed throughout our closing and took the time to answer all questions and explain all concepts. We will absolutely use her services again.

Truly first class! Lynette represented us through a difficult short sale and honestly, I don’t think we’d have made it through without her. She is incredibly knowledgeable, fights hard for your interests and her office is very responsive — generally replying to emails within a matter of minutes. If you’re looking for a real estate attorney, whether it be for something conventional or something more complex (like a short sale), I can’t overstate how highly I recommend Lynette.

Lynette is professional, compassionate, smart, responsive and always had our best interest in mind. She negotiated late into evenings, weekends and holidays to navigate the typical challenges that come with a short sale. Lynette helped us take calculated risks but always urged us do what she felt would protect us in the end. I highly recommend Lynette and only wish I could buy her a vacation as a tip. What a champion. Thanks Lynette. We couldn’t have done this without you and we now have our dream home.

Absolutely outstanding! Lynette helped walk my wife and myself through what was a very stressful closing. The $ 500.00 she charged was not sufficient for the type of service she preformed. I only wish she was my realtor instead of my closing attorney. Thanks Lynette!!!

I have dealt with Lynette for more than 8 years and had her act as counsel for more than 100 real estate transactions. As an agent, reliability and knowledge are the two things we have to know are in place when you handle large transactions involving people’s life savings or largest asset. In representing clients, nickels and dimes add up fast when transacting property. The law requires that we offer clients a choice or representation but 99% of the time my clients would ask who is the best representation at the best price. I always offered to pay legal fees out of my commission regardless of who my clients chose and most of the time the clients would choose Lynette on recommendation. Her fees are extremely reasonable, often less than her peers and never varied. Lynette is competent, knowledgeable, comprehensive and dedicated. Once she is retained as counsel, every aspect of each transaction went smoothly and flawlessly. I can think of a number of occasions where my clients, and the clients on the other side, were so impressed with her handling that both sides distributed her contact information on referral. If you are looking for an attorney to handle your real estate transaction, you can stop looking and know you are in the right hands the minute your sign the engagement document.

Be sure to get a contract in writing of how much your cost is before you close. I was told in the beginning that her fee would be $ 500 for a real estate close. There were many ups and downs with trying to find a sound deal and she and her team did a lot of work in trying to get sellers and banks to move the approval process along. There was no conversation of extra costs or invoices sent during this year long period. Finally, I got a clear to close on a home. At the bank, I called to find out how much I needed to withdraw to take care of the entire close. I was informed that her fee had gone from $ 500 to $ 1900. I did not have enough money to cover this and she didnt take credit cards. Luckily, she worked it out where I could pay her later. I didn’t mind paying extra because as I mentioned, she was with me in the trenches during the craziness that happens with short sales. But I wish I didn’t find out while sitting in front of a bank manager an hour before I’m supposed to close on my first home.
