PURCHASE AND SALE OF REAL ESTATE

We will represent you in the purchase and sale of real estate from the time of listing a property, through contract negotiations, various types of inspections including structural and environmental, the mortgage and financing needs of our clients and the closing of title.

For many people, buying a home is the biggest financial investment they will make in their lifetimes. Selling a home is an equally enormous undertaking, and both buyer and seller benefit from the guidance and expertise of a trusted, experienced real estate attorney.

As real estate lawyers, we can represent buyers and sellers in every aspect of the real estate transaction process. We guide you through the steps involved in listing your property (if you are the seller), negotiating the contract terms, guiding you in arranging for various types of inspections and reviewing inspection reports, explaining financing options, ensuring a proper title search is performed, and overseeing the closing. It is our job to ensure your rights and interests are protected every step of the way. With our varied background, we have the legal expertise to guide you through

  • Purchaser agreements
  • Seller agreements
  • Inspection issues
  • Lease agreements
  • Land use and zoning issues
  • Real estate tax issues/appeals
  • Title issues
  • Foreclosure
  • Short sale/Deed-in-lieu of foreclosure (DIL)

To better serve our clients in the different legal situations they encounter through their lives, we began offering real estate law services years ago. Our clients enjoy the continuity that comes with knowing their interests are protected throughout their lives by dedicated, highly-experienced attorneys with whom they already have an established trust and level of comfort.

We also represent many individuals who come to us simply because we are a well-known, established local practice whose real estate attorneys have a deep understanding of and connection to our area. Regardless of your needs and situation, we can assist you in the purchase and sale of real estate through every stage of the transaction.
