​

RESIDENTIAL 

​

The firm is happy to handle any residential real estate needs, which can include negotiating the Contract for Sale of Real Estate, performing an Attorney Review or responding to correspondence received during an Attorney Review, addressing any issues that might arise between entering into the Contract and the closing date, dealing with the Title Company to ensure that all necessary documents have been provided and that you are familiar and comfortable with the Closing Disclosures, through reviewing all documents for Closing and attending Closing. 

​

ATTORNEY REVIEW

​

We've used the phrase "Attorney Review" a couple of times and it does mean something. Unless waived by the parties, attorney review is a period of time following the execution of the Contract for Sale of Real Estate where an attorney can be retained to review the contract to determine if any alterations are necessary. The attorney review period begins to run once all parties to the contract has signed, and is for a period of three business days. Business days do not include holidays or weekends. If either party is unsatisfied with the Contract during the attorney review period, they can send correspondence to the other party requiring that adjustments be made to the contract in order to move forward. The correspondence can also cancel the contract, penalty free. That is where we come in, as we can review the documents, draft the correspondence, and handle any negotiations relative to adjustments to the contract. 

​

COMMERCIAL

​

We handle the sale of commercial properties and also sales of businesses, whether or not they include real estate. The sale of commercial property and/or a business entity can be complicated, and anyone looking to buy or sell in the commercial space is better served retaining legal counsel who knows what they are doing and can foresee and address any issues that might arise. As with residential real estate, commercial and/or business representation where a party is buying or selling can include various moving parts. Whether you simply want documents reviewed, or you want the firm involved from the negotiation stage all the way through closing, we are more than ready to jump in and represent your interests and make sure that your instructions are followed to bring you to a final result that you are happy with. We have handled both sides of the transaction and are familiar with the steps needed so that whether you are buying or selling, you are protected.
