Purchasing a home, residential investment property, land, or other property is a major life choice. Being possibly the largest purchase you may make during the course of your life,  it is extremely important to ensure that your legal rights are protected. Equally important, is looking out for your interests when you choose to sell your home, residential investment property, land, or other property.

In a residential real estate purchase or sale, the buyer and the seller are first required to sign a written purchase agreement in order to buy or sell a home. Once signed, the buyer is then provided time to conduct  inspections on the property.  In addition a title property title search is performed and purchaser must often acquire the necessary financing to make the purchase. Upon finance approval, the transaction may then proceed to the closing process, which includes the real estate deed being legally transferred from the seller to the buyer. At the closing, the buyer pays the seller the balance of the purchase price, and the real estate deed is officially recorded.

The process of buying or selling any type of residential property may seem simple enough, but the reality is, it can be a very complex transaction process with one of your most expensive assets.

Many of the issues we frequently address regarding Residential Real Estate Transactions include, but are not limited to:

• Draft and review purchase agreements, and other supporting documentation.  It is important that the attorney be engaged prior to signing a purchase agreement;

• Contacting and negotiating with title companies for title insurance and title exam work;

• Attend closings;

• Resolving landlord / tenant disputes, if any;

• Or any other legal issues which may arise before, during, or after a residential real estate transaction.
