Residential Transactions

Home ownership is a major step toward building equity. It is also extremely stressful, especially for first-time buyers. Our goal is to make it approachable for everyone involved.

Our office provides title research and contract review services to buyers, individual sellers and real estate agencies. We have the ability to address the custom concerns of unique properties. We also help develop strong standard contracts to save money and reduce risk for developers and agencies.

Commercial Sales

Commercial real estate transactions are nothing like residential sales. There is much more legal work involved — and much more that could potentially go wrong.

We perform deep, granular research to help identify how purchases might fit with our clients’ legal goals. We also develop letters of intent, draft purchase agreements and perform due diligence.

Due diligence is crucial for a transparent sale. It involves collecting large amounts of information. A typical process might include:

• In-depth title research
• Zoning assessments
• Surveys
• Structural and environmental assessments of any improvements
• Financial statements
• Tax documents
• Contract histories
• Employment and tenant information
• Proceedings information for evictions, tax actions and civil claims

We have the experience, connections and focus to perform this complex set of tasks efficiently, completely and quickly. We understand that some deals do not wait. Give us a call at (630) 325-5557 to get started as soon as possible.
