if you involve a RE lawyer in the deal and they do work, but the deal doesn't close, you do owe them, but not the full fee if the deal went through since there is still work to be done.
will there be another deal? that may play a part in the fee they charge...

when i bought a home (single family house) in early 2000's, he billed be around $850 if i recall correctly...
since this is a purchase of a co-op he said there will probably be extra work to ensure no liens against "shares" since i'm buying shares (which i understand).. that "extra work" would come out to about $300-$450 or so it sounded like....
so maybe $1300 total or so if deal went thru for the co-op? thanks
I don't think you are the one who is going to decide this. It is going to be your lawyer. I can tell you that I had a deal fall through and my lawyer didn't charge me because he knew I was going to use him again. But if he would have sent me a bill I would have paid it.
Also, it seems very odd to me that you don't know what the amount was going to be. Or at least an idea of what it was going to be. Did you not discuss this with him?
Don't assume anything. When I have a deal fall through the attorney doesn't charge anything. You should just ask and not worry about what ifs.
