Complex Transactions Require Experienced Legal Counsel

- Operational Issues
Because of the complexity of property transactions, hiring an experienced legal counsel is necessary to ensure that you have covered every step in your transaction.

We value successful outcomes as much as you do and for that reason, we use our expertise to ensure that you have the most successful outcome that is both cost effective and utilizes the appropriate measures on our part.
Importance of Involving a Real Estate Attorney Early
It is very important to involve a lawyer based in your transactions as early as possible. The lawyers know what crucial elements to look for in purchase and sale agreements. There are many documents that your attorney should review prior to the closure of the transaction. Some of these documents include but are not limited to:
- Title Reports
- Escrow Instructions
- Loan Documents
- Disclosure Statements
By “hiring a qualified real estate lawyer”, you are creating a better chance at defending title rights. You are also reducing your taxes and fees, which means less worries and more money in your pocket. We are flexible in that we are able to work seamlessly with other professionals such as architects, contractors, engineers and CPAs to ensure that your interests are protected as much as possible.
