How We Can Help

Our attorneys are seasoned and knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate transactions. We provide legal counsel related to all aspects of real estate transactions, land use, entity formation, and financing. Throughout New Jersey, we have assisted clients, including individuals, investors, developers, and businesses, with buying, selling, and managing residential and commercial properties.

It is essential to protect your rights. Since the Contract of Sale is such an important and legally binding contract, an attorney should be consulted before you sign the contract. Property transactions involve a host of critical legal issues, such as joint tenancy, tenancy in common, tenancy by entirety, condominium, and homeowners’ association laws, that implicate and create varying risks and circumstances. Having an experienced attorney guide you throughout the real estate process, explaining the steps and ramifications of each legal issue, may help reassure our clients in their endeavor.

We will gladly provide a consultation meeting and answer your questions, whether you are a buyer or a seller.

As a buyer’s attorney, we can provide the following:

  1. Review the Contract of Sale
  2. Assist you regarding your questions of matters such as inspections (termite, structural, etc.), certificates of occupancy, the zoning status of your property, restrictions on construction or land use, and property insurance
  3. Order and review the survey and all title searches to clearly define the description, location, and legal ownership of the property
  4. Help resolve title and insurance problems
  5. Obtain title insurance policies covering your ownership interest and the lending institution’s mortgage interest, and advise you about exceptions that may appear in your title policy.
  6. Advise you regarding any issues related to the settlement date, possession, and transfer of occupancy
  7. Represent and advise you at closing, to ensure that all proper documentation has been completed, signed, and that all funds are transferred at the appropriate time
  8. Deliver all essential documents to you for your safekeeping after closing
  9. Assist you with your mortgage application, review your mortgage commitment, and explain your prepayment rights, due on sale clauses, and other limitations.

As a seller’s attorney, we can provide the following:

  1. Prepare, review, and explain the Contract of Sale
  2. Gather important title information from you or from the purchaser’s attorney, thus expediting the search and survey process
  3. Help you resolve any title problems revealed by the searches
  4. Cooperate with the buyer’s attorney in preparing the final closing statement
  5. Prepare the Deed, Affidavit of Title, Survey Affidavit, and any other necessary documents
