Buying or Selling Your Home

If you are buying or selling a home, you need an experienced attorney on your side who can anticipate the legal problems you may encounter and who will represent only you. While real estate agents, lenders, and title companies may be involved in your transaction, only your attorney is ethically bound to have an undivided loyalty only to you. If any of these individuals tell you that you do not need an attorney, ask yourself why someone who is supposed to be on your side would suggest you forego representation to protect your interests. Botched legal descriptions, contract drafting errors and title defects are just a few examples of issues that I have litigated for clients who were unrepresented by an attorney in the underlying transaction.

Often, people do not consult with an attorney until after they have already signed a purchase agreement. At this point, you are already bound by the terms of the contract. Although I can assist you at any point in your transaction, the best time to retain an attorney is before you sign any contracts.

Whether you're a first-time home buyer or an investor involved in buying and selling residential properties, I can assist you in all your real estate purchase and sales needs including:

  • Preparation or review of the contract for sale
  • Evaluate financing options
  • Confirm the seller has clear title to the house
  • Identify/clear title defects
  • Verify compliance with applicable State and Federal laws
  • Ensure compliance with the terms of the contract
  • Prepare or review closing documents including verification of closing figures
  • Explain the closing documents to you in plain, simple language
  • Attend closing with you to represent your rights

To discuss one of the real estate issues above, or another real estate matter you are facing, contact me for assistance.
