Purchase or Sale of Residential Real Estate
The purchase or sale of residential real estate involves many complicated issues. You want to make certain that the terms of your agreement are clear and that they accurately state your rights and obligations. You need assurances that there are no liens or encumbrances on the property and that you will receive clear title. You need to be aware of easements or covenants that may restrict your use of the property. You want to go to the closing with a clear understanding of who will be responsible for all costs.
Real Estate Closings
The bulk of our real estate practice focuses on successfully closing residential real estate transactions. We will work with you from the beginning of the process, helping you to prepare a purchase / sale contract. Once an offer has been accepted, or in those instances where the realtor has negotiated the purchase, we will review and prepare all the documents necessary to complete the transaction, including mortgages, deeds of trust, notes and any other instruments that are necessary to effectuate the closing. We will perform the title examination required to confirm that clear title will pass. Finally, we will conduct the closing, answer any questions that arise at that time and ensure that the closing is successfully completed.
Real Estate Litigation
There are occasions when problems arise during the course of the closing process. When that happens, we are often called upon to represent clients in litigation involving real estate. Litigation matters include:
- The partition of real property
- The interpretation of purchase agreements
- The resolution of title issues
- Boundary disputes
- Construction defects
- Lease disputes, both commercial and residential
