Sold website - now what?
I have sold my website but I scared about the next step. Do I just use the standard Flippa asset purchase agreement or do I engage a lawyer? The sell price was a few thousand, not huge figures, not even close to 5 figures. A lawyer will cost at least 1.5k and suddenly almost half the sale price is gone. It is just a standard domain and content transfer - I didn't think or anticipate all of this legal stuff to come into it, very naive of me. Also with Escrow, I have never used it. There is a notice that says Flippa "will set up an account with Escrow.com using your registered Flippa email address". How does that even work?
Also, is it reasonable to set a "close" date as 7 days in the future? To give me time to change over a few things and get everything ready for the sale?
