BUYING AND SELLING REAL ESTATE

While brokers assist with most parts of real estate transactions, there are times when you may need advice from experienced real estate attorneys, including negotiating a good deal when hiring a broker. Some states even require a real estate attorney to be present at closing. Other times, there are problems discovered during inspection that cannot be easily taken care of. Problems commonly arise during appraisals, liens, and other issues that can put the sale in jeopardy, and deadlines and large sums of money can turn even the smallest problem into a stressful situation in a hurry.

Many terms of leases can be negotiated, including the amount of rent.

From our app, you can upload legal documents, such as a lease agreement, and get advice in just days.
