Why you need a Real Estate Attorney

Saving you time and Money

As a buyer, it's important to remember that a seller's agent is there to represent the seller, not you. Their primary goal is to make the sale and get the highest possible price for their client. While they may be friendly and helpful, their loyalty is to the seller, not the buyer. At our law firm, we understand the importance of protecting the buyer's interests in a real estate transaction. Our experienced attorneys are dedicated to representing buyers and ensuring that their interests are protected throughout the entire process. We provide guidance and legal advice to help buyers make informed decisions and negotiate favorable terms. We believe that every buyer deserves a dedicated and experienced advocate who will work tirelessly to protect their interests. Our attorneys are committed to providing exceptional legal representation and customer service to every client. We will help you navigate the complex process of buying real estate and ensure that your interests are protected every step of the way.

We are ready to help you with your real estate needs and ensure a successful transaction.

Minimizing Risk

At our law firm, we understand the importance of identifying potential problems and risks in a real estate transaction. That's why we carefully review the purchase agreement and establish appropriate safeguards to protect our clients' interests. We then order and review the title report to ensure that the property's title is clear and marketable. It's important to note that many brokers are affiliated with a title insurance company, which means they may have a financial incentive to steer clients towards that company, regardless of whether it's in their best interest. Some title insurance companies may look for loopholes to avoid paying or defending claims, which can leave buyers vulnerable to unforeseen costs and legal disputes. As agents for Fidelity National Title Insurance, we believe that we offer our clients the best possible protection. Fidelity has a strong reputation for honoring its obligations should problems arise, and we have found them to be among the most reliable and trustworthy title insurance providers in the market. We understand that buying real estate can be a complex and stressful process, which is why we are committed to providing our clients with exceptional legal representation and customer service. Our attorneys will work tirelessly to protect your interests and ensure that your real estate transaction is successful.

That's why we have assembled a team of experienced real estate attorneys who are licensed Pennsylvania title insurance agents. Our attorneys work closely with realtors and lenders to ensure that every transaction is smooth and successful. Unlike some law firms, we don't outsource our title work to third-party providers.

Our attorneys are knowledgeable about the entire real estate process, from reviewing purchase agreements to ordering and reviewing title reports. We believe that having licensed title insurance agents on our team is a significant advantage for our clients.

Accurate Legal Advice

When it comes to buying or selling property, many people rely on real estate agents to help them navigate the process. While agents are experts in the real estate market, they may not be qualified to provide legal advice or explain the legal details and ramifications of a transaction. That's where our law firm comes in. At our law firm, we have a team of experienced real estate attorneys who can provide legally accurate information that you can rely on. Our attorneys work closely with real estate agents and their clients to ensure that every transaction is legally sound and meets the client's objectives. We understand the complexities of real estate law and can explain the legal details and ramifications of a transaction to our clients in clear and understandable terms. While brokers or agents may prepare agreements or addenda, it's essential to have a qualified attorney review them to ensure that they do what they are intended to do. Our attorneys will carefully review every agreement or addendum to ensure that it's legally sound and that our clients' interests are protected. At our law firm, we believe that having legal representation during a real estate transaction is essential. It provides our clients with peace of mind, knowing that their interests are protected, and their transaction is legally sound. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and learn more about how we can help you with your real estate needs.

Removing Barriers

When it comes to real estate transactions, having a clear title is essential. A title report is a critical document that identifies any liens, encumbrances, or other issues that may pose a risk to the sale. At our law firm, our real estate attorneys always review the title report to ensure that the transaction is legally sound and that our clients' interests are protected. If we discover any problems with the title report, such as a lien or other impediment, we work closely with the buyer or seller to address the issue before the sale. Our attorneys have the knowledge and experience necessary to identify potential problems and advise our clients on the best course of action. At our law firm, we understand that our clients don't want any surprises or headaches after the sale is complete. That's why we take a thorough approach to every transaction we handle. We make sure that all issues are addressed, and the transaction is legally sound before we close. Our goal is to provide our clients with peace of mind and ensure that their real estate transaction is successful. In addition to reviewing the title report, our real estate attorneys are also experienced in addressing other potential issues that may arise during a real estate transaction, such as zoning or boundary disputes. We are committed to providing our clients with comprehensive legal representation that protects their interests and ensures a successful transaction. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and learn more about how we can help you with your real estate needs.

Protecting Sellers

It's important to review the listing agreement carefully before signing, as there may be clauses that benefit the broker more than the seller. For example, some listing agreements may include clauses that allow the broker to claim a commission even after the agreement has ended, which can be a risk for the seller if the broker is not performing well. At our law firm, our experienced real estate attorneys can review your listing agreement before you sign it to ensure that you understand your rights and obligations under the agreement. We can also advise you on the Sellers Property Disclosure, which is a legal document that outlines any known defects or issues with the property. Providing an accurate disclosure can help you avoid future liability and potential legal disputes. By working with our real estate lawyers, you can protect your interests and ensure that your real estate transaction goes smoothly. Contact us today to learn more about our services.

No ugly surprises at closing

At our law firm, we understand that the real estate closing process can be stressful and overwhelming for many buyers and sellers. That's why our experienced attorneys are dedicated to ensuring that the process runs as smoothly as possible. Our attorneys attend every real estate closing to ensure that all documents are in order and that there are no issues that could delay or jeopardize the sale. We take the time to explain each document thoroughly to our clients, so they understand what they are signing and why it is necessary. We never rush through the process or ask our clients to sign documents without understanding them fully. In addition to reviewing the closing documents, our attorneys are also prepared to handle any last-minute changes or issues that may arise during the closing process. We can help you negotiate any necessary changes and draft appropriate language or documents to address them. Our goal is to ensure that our clients' interests are protected, and that the closing process is as stress-free as possible.

know your rights

Choosing the right settlement company is crucial in the real estate transaction process. While some non-attorney-run settlement companies may be cost-effective, they lack the legal knowledge and experience required to handle complex real estate transactions. By choosing a professional attorney-run settlement company, you can have peace of mind that your settlement will be handled efficiently and effectively, ensuring that all legal obligations are met and any potential issues are addressed promptly.

In addition to considering settlement company options, it’s also important to be aware of any affiliated business arrangements during your real estate transaction. While these arrangements are legal, they may not always be in the buyer’s best interest. As a buyer, you have the right to choose the title company that you feel is best suited for your needs, regardless of any agreements between your agent and a particular company. Our attorneys can review any forms you sign and provide guidance on the best options available to you.
