We work closely with realtors, mortgage brokers, surveyors and all of the other parties related to the transaction to ensure that the closing process moves efficiently and smoothly. 

The Contract

The real estate contract is a minefield of legal terminology that is very confusing. Having a real estate lawyer on your team before signing the contract ensures that you are legally protected and most importantly, that you understand your rights and obligations.

Title Insurance

With all the hoops you have to jump through to buy a home, you'd think that would be enough to prove your home is indeed your home. But alas, such is not always the case. A myriad of situations can stand between you and a marketable title—a condition that states evidence of your problem-free ownership rights to a particular property.

The purpose of title insurance is to secure your legal claim to the property and protect you against title "defects"—legal rights to a property claimed by somebody else. Unfortunately, hidden defects can surface even after you've gone through closing, and a myriad of situations can stand between you and a marketable title. With title insurance, the title insurer not only pays the costs if you're ever forced to defend your ownership in court, but covers any financial loss if the title defects can't be settled.
