Our Real Estate Services: From Contract Review to Closing

Real estate transactions are among the most significant financial commitments an individual or business can make. Whether you’re purchasing your first home, selling commercial property, or investing in multifamily units, every detail—from the contract to the closing table—can impact your legal rights, financial future, and peace of mind.

At Real Estate Law Firm, we provide experienced, detail-driven legal support at every phase of your real estate transaction. Our goal is simple: to make your investment secure, your obligations clear, and your closing seamless.

Thorough Contract Review & Legal Risk Assessment

The foundation of a successful real estate deal begins with a well-drafted, carefully reviewed contract. We analyze every provision in your purchase and sale agreement before you sign, including:

• Contingency clauses (e.g., financing, inspections, sale of existing property)
• Earnest money conditions
• Closing timelines and extensions
• Seller disclosures
• Allocation of closing costs
• Remedies for breach

By addressing potential pitfalls up front, we help clients avoid litigation or financial loss later. As the American Bar Association explains, early legal involvement helps reduce disputes and strengthen buyer/seller protections.

Title Examination, Lien Searches, and Due Diligence

A clean title is non-negotiable when acquiring real estate. Our attorneys conduct comprehensive title searches to verify:

• The current legal owner
• Property boundaries and easements
• Open liens or mortgages
• Pending litigation or judgments
• Restrictions or encumbrances (such as HOA rules or zoning limits)

We also coordinate with title insurance providers to resolve “clouds” on title before closing. For an overview of title practices and policy standards, see the American Land Title Association (ALTA).

If any issues arise—such as a prior owner’s unpaid taxes or improperly recorded deeds—we act quickly to cure title defects and protect your ownership rights.

Negotiation & Document Drafting

In both residential and commercial deals, contract negotiation is about more than price—it’s about safeguarding your position, minimizing risk, and ensuring the transaction reflects your goals.

We help clients:

• Negotiate favorable terms
• Review loan documents and closing disclosures
• Draft custom addenda, escrow instructions, or leasebacks
• Address zoning or land-use questions
• Resolve disputes between buyers, sellers, or agents

Whether you’re working with a realtor or going FSBO (for sale by owner), legal guidance can make or break your outcome. Our attorneys stay current on market regulations and HUD guidelines via the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, ensuring compliance every step of the way.

Closing Coordination & Escrow Management

The closing is where your deal becomes real—but it’s also where errors, delays, and last-minute liabilities can arise if not managed carefully.

At Real Estate Law Firm, we coordinate with:

• Mortgage lenders
• Escrow officers and title agents
• Real estate brokers
• Surveyors and inspectors

We review the Closing Disclosure (CD) and HUD-1 Settlement Statement, confirm that all contingencies are met, and ensure that:

• Funds are correctly wired and disbursed
• Title is transferred without liens
• Documents are properly recorded with the county

Following the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's best practices, we protect your transaction from costly administrative errors or omissions that can delay possession or invalidate part of your contract.

Recent Success Story: Multifamily Property Acquisition

We recently represented a buyer in the competitive purchase of a 12-unit apartment building. Multiple offers were on the table, and time was of the essence. Our team:

• Negotiated a price reduction based on inspection results
• Drafted a leaseback agreement allowing sellers to remain for 30 days
• Cured a decades-old lien through expedited title clearance
• Ensured a smooth and on-time closing despite tight lender deadlines
