Negotiating, Drafting and Closing Real Estate Transactions
We handle the sale or purchase of residential real estate, from negotiating and drafting agreements through finalizing the deal at the closing. We prepare and review all necessary documents, including the purchase agreement, deed, mortgage, note and any other financing instrument. We also go beyond these documents and investigate easements or restrictive covenants on the property. At closing, we protect your interests by reviewing the proposed closing statement and addressing any negative issues that may arise.
If you are purchasing residential property for investment or as a landlord, we can handle all matters related to the leasing of the property, including the preparation of a rental agreement. We also handle any litigation that arises out of residential real estate transactions.
