No matter how knowledgeable your current real estate help, it's not enough to trust in them to understand the legal documents or protect you from residential real estate hazards. Helen will take you from contract to closing but can also help you with quitclaim deeds, deeds into or out of trust, decedent's properties and real property trusts.

Helen Fanning is an Illinois Real Estate Expert

Helen has been working as a real estate attorney since 1991. Before focusing on real estate in closings, she attended De Paul College of Liberal Arts and earned a Bachelor of Arts in History in 1987. She later earned her Doctor of Law from De Paul College of Law, graduating in 1990.

She specializes in residential real estate closings, helping her clients get the best financial outcomes while avoiding the mishaps that can accompany the often-dense legal documents involved in purchase agreements, title documents, mortgage papers or and transfer documents.

Don't count on people outside the legal profession to know what's best for you. You need a qualified, tested and knowledgeable attorney to look everything over, whether for a purchase or a sale and ensure you are protected.

    I worked with Helen as a first time home buyer and I'm so glad I did! She talked me through every question I had throughout the contract negotiation process and really went to bat for me when I was having trouble with my lender. She is quick to follow up via phone, text, and email.
