Real Estate Law

In keeping with the wide range of services that our attorneys provide to individuals and businesses, we also handle many matters related to the sale and use of real estate. We can assist the individual homeowner with selling or buying a home, and also help with zoning, easement, and boundary disputes.

Any business transaction involving real estate necessarily requires the assistance of counsel, and we are happy to provide this as part of the overall transaction. Our attorneys are available at all stages of the transaction, from the initial negotiations (regardless of whether you are the buyer or seller), letter of intent, purchase agreement, due diligence, and closing. Purchasers of bare land find our assistance valuable not only as the land is acquired, but in negotiations with those companies that will handle construction of any buildings, or improvements to the existing premises.

Our litigation attorneys frequently represent lenders in actions involving real estate, including foreclosure and debt collection.
