Whether you are a buyer or a seller, employing the services of a real estate attorney is vitally important to ensure that your interests are represented at the closing table.

Whether you are a party to a traditional transaction; or if you are seller financing and in need of a promissory note, mortgage, agreement for deed or other contractual services, our firm is well versed in all matters related to the purchase and sale of land.

Residential Purchases and Sales
Purchasing a home will likely be one of the largest financial decisions you make in your life. Issues can arise during all stages of home buying. Deciding where to live may be the first question to answer, but make sure you know how to pay for your new home, how to make an offer, and how much should your offer be. Also, ensure the house is inspected, deed prepared, and repairs made all before the closing. It is important that you have protected yourself before you sign any final documents. Make sure you know the answers to potentially damaging information such as:
1. Are there any zoning violations with the property?
2. Are there present or past environmental hazards a problem on the property?
3. Are there covenants or restrictions on the property that would limit my use of the property?
4. Will my mortgage change over time? Can I afford to make all the payments over time?
5. Are there potential issues with the chain of title to the house that may interfere with my full ownership of the property?
6. Is the property value estimate accurate?
7. What are the real estate taxes in my area?
Owners can protect themselves from these issues and others by taking the time to find all the information about buying real estate and discussing any potential problems with a real estate lawyer.

Why Should I Hire A Real Estate Lawyer?
In most real estate transactions or disagreements, there is rarely anyone looking out for your best interests. Realtors and bankers are commission driven; and do not place your best interests as their highest priority. Traditional title companies have to charge confiscatory rates for their transactional services – but in most cases, they are not truly your representative. You have the right to involve a real estate attorney in every transaction. In most cases, you are already paying fees and costs related to title insurance, closing services and the preparation of documents. Involving a real estate attorney in the process will often result in no increase in your costs; but will arm you with an ally in what is undoubtedly one of the most important transactions of your life.
