Answer: I enjoy the fact that generally, practicing real estate law requires assisting parties on opposite sides of a transaction accomplish a common goal, such as the purchase and sale of a piece of property, or the lease of residential or commercial space. It is a balancing act between protecting a client’s interest and not being so overzealous as to cause a transaction to terminate.
Answer: There are components to all transaction that most people are unfamiliar with. As a buyer, you need an attorney to help you obtain clear title to the asset you are purchasing, and to protect you from unforeseen liabilities. As a seller, you need to provide certain documents and assurances that you are conveying clear title, and to protect yourself from potential claims.
Answer: All aspects, residential and commercial.
Answer: Purchase and sale, leasing, easement conveyances, property line disputes, liens, mortgage loans, unauthorized tree removal – generally anything that affects real estate.
