Buying or Selling a Home?
Thinking of buying and/or selling? Well, we have some good news for you. Recently, your ALSI membership was upgraded to include free time and reduced commissions for the broker fees associated with buying and/or selling a home. That's right, not only does your ALSI membership help with the legal fees associated with this type of transaction but the actual broker fees as well. This added benefit can save you thousands of dollars in realtor commissions alone.
ALSI has contracted with local real estate agents for this special program. These agents have agreed to accept the ALSI program and help you buy/sell a home at special reduced rates.
If you are even considering buying or selling a home within the next few months, calling our office first could save you thousands of dollars. Even if you decide not to proceed with one of these agents, you will still gain valuable information free of charge about the value of your home and the buying and/or selling process.

NEARI Open Enrollment
We live in a suing society. In fact, Rhode Island is considered to be one of the most litigious states in the country. This means the likelihood that you will someday unexpectedly need an attorney is high. Here in Rhode Island, the average rate of an attorney is about $250 per hour. At this rate, even a small legal issue can be financially difficult.
Since 1992, NEARI has offered a legal protection plan to help you deal with the high cost of legal assistance. This plan will give you peace of mind knowing that you can contact an attorney for a matter as simple as advice or as complex as a major lawsuit and not suffer the high expense all for about $13 per month. There is even an entry-level plan for new applicants for about $9 per month.
Important Notice - Please Read
This is neither an automatic or a free benefit for NEARI members. You must enroll in the benefit during this open enrollment period to be eligible for plan benefits. No applications will be accepted after this open enrollment period.
