Legal Help With Residential Real Estate Transactions

We provide representation for both buyers and sellers, and we can assist with each stage of a transaction, including:

• Contract negotiation - When a buyer makes an offer on a property, and the seller accepts the offer, the parties will sign a purchase agreement. We can work with you to negotiate a real estate contract and ensure that it will meet your needs, including addressing any restrictions that apply to either party, disclosures of defects on the property, or any contingencies requested by the buyer or seller.
• Title services - We will perform a title search to confirm ownership of the property being sold and determine whether there are any liens, judgments, or claims on the property that would affect the sale of the home. We can also help obtain title insurance to protect against losses if problems arise during the transaction.
• Financing - We work with buyers to determine the best options for obtaining a home mortgage, and we ensure they understand their rights and responsibilities in these types of loans. We also work to protect the rights of sellers, including helping them understand how to protect their interests if the sale falls through due to the buyer being unable to meet the lender's requirements.
• Home inspections, defects, and repairs - A buyer has the right to have a home and property inspected, and they may ask for any defects or issues uncovered during this inspection to be addressed before the sale can be completed. We can assist both buyers and sellers with inspection-related matters, including negotiating agreements regarding what repairs should be made or what costs should be paid and ensuring that all requirements are met to the satisfaction of all parties.
  
• Closing - We will prepare the necessary documents before the date of closing, and during the process of closing, we will thoroughly explain this paperwork and ensure that the buyer and/or seller understands their rights and obligations. Following the signing of these documents, we will ensure that records are properly filed and that all closing costs are distributed to the proper parties.
