What Problems & Hassles This Service Solves

More often than not, the road to homeownership is difficult to maneuver. Issues of all sorts can arise along the way, and although we are not real estate agents, we will gladly partner with your agent to get around any issues.

If you’re buying a home, here are some things worth thinking about ahead of time.

Title Issues

As your attorney, we will check for liens or open mortgages on the property you’re buying. If the title is damaged in any way, we will connect with the seller’s attorney and ensure that it’s clean before closing.

Book a Consultation

How much do you charge, and is it flat-fee?

We offer flat-rate pricing with no hidden costs or surprise fees. You'll know exactly what you're paying upfront, allowing you to budget with confidence for your real estate transaction.

How quickly can you review my real estate contract?

We can review most contracts within 24 hours of receipt. Our team understands that real estate transactions often move quickly, and we're committed to providing prompt legal guidance without sacrificing thoroughness.

Will I work directly with an attorney?

Unlike many firms, you'll work directly with an attorney throughout your entire case. We believe in providing direct attorney access to ensure you receive expert guidance every step of the way—not just from support staff.

How early in the home buying or selling process should I contact an attorney?

Ideally, you should contact us before signing any contracts or making offers. Early legal guidance helps prevent issues that could delay or derail your transaction later. However, we can assist at any stage of your real estate journey.

Do you handle both residential and commercial real estate transactions?

Yes, we provide comprehensive legal services for both residential closings and commercial transactions. We also offer specialized services for real estate investors, including 1031 exchanges and LLC structuring.

What happens if title issues are discovered during my transaction?

We perform early title reviews specifically to identify and resolve potential issues before they can delay your closing. If we discover any title problems, we'll work proactively to clear them, keeping your transaction on track for a timely closing.

Can you help with investment properties and 1031 exchanges?

Absolutely! We specialize in investor-focused legal services, including 1031 exchanges, LLC structuring, and investment property transactions. Our team understands the unique legal needs of real estate investors and can help protect your portfolio.

What documentation should I prepare before our initial consultation?

For our initial consultation, it's helpful to bring any existing contracts, property information, and a list of your specific questions or concerns. If you're a buyer, information about your financing is also useful. However, don't worry if you don't have everything—we're here to guide you through what's needed.
