Why Retain Me?
My goal is to take you through the process of a real estate transaction as your
legal advocate, giving you sound representation and piece of mind. Below are
more extensive ways I can help you but for very specific information please
navigate through my site by using the navigation buttons to learn more about how
I can help your specific needs.
Why You Need a Real Estate Lawyer
A General
Practice Lawyer May Not Be Enough
Lawyers who practice outside of real estate law likely have limited contact with
real estate transactions. Their narrow knowledge may be enough to handle a simplistic
situation, but as selling prices have increased and transactions have become more
complex, retaining a lawyer who practices real estate law makes sound business sense.
The laws, procedures, regulations and required documents of real estate are continuously
updated and changed. It is extremely important to retain an attorney who works within the
area of real estate law, who understands those changes and is able to incorporate the
updated procedures in your deal.
Real estate transactions can be
intimidating and complex. Having competent legal counsel (an attorney who
practices real estate law) can greatly reduce the stress and anxiety. My
representation aims to remove the intimidation and complexities of real estate.
Residential Transaction Focus: Buyers, Sellers, For Sale by Owner
One of the more popular areas of my practice is in the representation of buyers and
sellers in the sale or purchase of residential real estate. Real estate can be
intimidating and complex but if done with proper professional guidance, can be
gratifying. Selling or purchasing real estate is likely the largest financial
obligation of a person's life. Having competent legal counsel can greatly reduce
the stress and anxiety. My representation strives to remove the intimidation and
legal complexities of the real estate transfer.
I am not a broker or a real estate salesperson, so I am not in the business of listing
properties for sellers, nor do I seek properties for buyers. Those undertakings are left
to the quality professionals of the real estate sales world and I am pleased to
recommend qualified brokers and salespersons for those functions. I represent
clients who retain brokers or salespersons and I also represent consumers who
are entering the real estate world without professional sales guidance.
