You need a good real estate lawyer to guide you through the purchase of your new home
So that when you think you’re buying this…
You aren’t really getting this…
Use this handy financial calculator to estimate your likely payments.
Experience when you need it most
When you are poised to make one of your biggest financial investments, the purchase of your new home, you want to know that you’ve negotiated the proper terms for its purchase, that you have protected yourself from unanticipated consequences, and that you are properly prepared for the big day – the day you take home the keys. You do not want last minute surprises. You do not want to feel unprotected – and unless you are working with a Buyer’s Broker, your only dedicated ally is your Real Estate lawyer. You want to know that your ally, your lawyer, has been down this road before. You want to know that your representation rests on solid footing.
What should you expect from your real estate lawyer during the purchase of your home?
- A clear description of the cost of legal representation and the things that might affect that estimation.
- A steady hand and a cool head while negotiating on your behalf,
- A well-constructed Purchase and Sale Agreement,
- A thorough review of the terms of your Purchase and Sale to ensure that you fully understand all of the implications of the contract,
- Title review to double-check clear title to the property,
- Review of special issues relating to the property, such as existing easements or access agreements with utility companies or neighboring landowners, and
- An office responsive to your questions and able to make sure that your transaction moves smoothly toward closing.
When should you call?
If you’re buying a home, you need to be particularly aware of the importance of the Offer to Purchase. A poorly constructed, incomplete Offer to Purchase can saddle you with unanticipated consequences and costs – so please call before the Offer is signed if that’s possible. We are available most hours of the day and most days of the week. It doesn’t cost you more to talk to us early and it could save you a lot.
