Residential Real Estate
For most people, the purchase or sale of their home is one of the biggest financial transactions they will ever encounter and in most cases, the first time they will require legal representation.
Residential home buyers and sellers sometimes believe that the standard purchase and sale agreements provided by a realtor will protect their interests. However, in many cases, those forms do not account for the specific aspects of the transaction that may be unique or unanticipated, nor do they fully protect the interests of the client, whether buyer or seller.
Our experienced attorneys and highly-trained staff represent home buyers and sellers from the pre-contract and contract negotiation stage through closing and beyond. We advise and assist with the proper completion and submission of the ever-changing documentation required in today’s mortgage market, being cognizant of the time constraints and changing circumstances which are part of the residential real estate process.
If you are involved in the leasing, sale, or purchase of real estate, then it is imperative to have an experienced attorney who is familiar with applicable laws and requirements. Not every transaction proceeds as planned, but when we represent buyers or sellers of residential real estate we work hard to anticipate potential issues before they become a significant obstacle.
