Real Estate

Whether purchasing residential or commercial property as a first time buyer or as a seasoned veteran, an attorney is important to make sure you are part of an equitable transaction. In a residential real estate situation an attorney is vital for any home ownership issues; for drafting and reviewing real estate contracts; in preparing and reviewing loan documents for title examination, title searches and title insurance; and to ensure your interests are represented at closings. In addition, condominium and town home communities benefit from attorneys to represent home owner associations.

Attorney representation is of equal importance in commercial real estate situations. An attorney is necessary for more than just negotiating agreements to purchase and sell property. An attorney is also necessary for land use, zoning, subdivisions, and to assess property to ensure it is environmentally sound. Similar to residential real estate matters, an attorney is needed for title claim matters and for real estate litigation.

Unfortunately, with the difficult economic times we presently face it is frequently necessary to consult an attorney for foreclosures.
