Real Estate is often the largest investment that most Americans have in their portfolio. Given the unprecedented appreciation in the values of real estate, many clients find managing their homes and properties as vital as managing their more traditional investments. With title issues and complex mortgage products, it is imperative that legal representation be involved in order to prevent any potential costly mistakes.

Loans

In light of the lenders trend in breaking the ‘cookie-cutter’ loan molds and recognizing the need for ‘tailor-made’ mortgage products to better fit the needs of their clients, there are an ever increasing array of loan products and financing options on the market today.

The average loan package is over 50 pages for the buyer alone, and is full of legal representations that define obligations, conditions, and liabilities that are in effect for the duration of your loan. With so many options, it is near imperative to have a professional working for you to review and explain the necessary documents that define the terms of your loan.

Conditions of Title

Many properties that are part of an organized subdivision are subject to covenants, conditions, restrictions, and easements that affect the user’s rights with respect to their property. Likewise, many larger tracts that are not part of an organized subdivision have their own peculiar circumstances to watch out for. When you are paying consideration for your property, you need to know what strings are attached to your ownership. We have many years experience in dealing with governmental organizations, homeowner’s associations, and developers in correcting title matters.

A seasoned real estate attorney can offer peace of mind in this often complicated transaction. Every person involved in a real estate transaction has their own set of responsibilities and duties. The buyer owes duties to the seller, and visa-versa. The borrower has responsibilities to the lender, and visa-versa. The landlord and the tenant are also reciprocal in their duties. We can help advise you no matter which role you occupy.
