Do you do Real Estate Contracts?
The process of purchasing real estate is highly technical and demands frequent communication with the realtor, the attorney, the lender and others. Upon receipt of a contract, we explain the process to the client from start to finish. A real estate transaction is commonly the most expensive, single transaction an individual will undertake during their lifetime, so it is important to understand what is involved and to create a level of comfort with all involved.
If you believe legal questions will arise that may have an effect on the contract (impending divorce, creditor issues, taxes, etc.), please inform and we will be able to answer any questions. Our legal representation includes the following practice areas:
- Real Estate Closings
- Residential/Commercial Leasing
- Seller Financed Transactions
- Landlord Tenant Disputes
- Estate Planning
Many of our clients originate with real estate transactions and remain clients for years to come. If you have any questions, or would like to learn more, please do not hesitate to reach out.
