real estate
Call us first: It is much easier and cheaper to help you avoid problems than it is to untangle problems that have developed. Call us first when you are considering buying, selling, or leasing real estate. We can provide you with the information you need to make a wise decision and avoid unnecessary problems.
New construction: Building a new home is a very exciting experience. It can also become an emotional rollercoaster as you encounter the daily frustrations that are certain to occur. We can help you through the process from purchasing your lot to moving in.
Investment: Investing in real estate can be very profitable. There are also many risks associated with real estate investment. We can make you aware of the risks you may be assuming and how to minimize any negative impact on your investment. We can keep you up to date on changes in tax laws, landlord-tenant laws, or help you complete a 1031 deferred tax exchange as you expand your investment portfolio.
real problems
If you are faced with a problem concerning real estate, contact us early and before the problem accelerates. It is important to understand your rights and the limitations on those rights from the very beginning.
Neighbors: I have great neighbors, but it seems that not everyone shares my good fortune. If you are having difficulty with a neighbor, contact us immediately to learn what you may do to resolve the problem.
Homeowner's associations: These associations can be a wonderful tool to create and maintain the identity of a community. They can help protect property values, build community spirit, and beautify common areas for all homeowners to enjoy. Sometimes these associations are being run by people who have not received legal advice on what they may and may not do to achieve their goals. If you have a problem regarding the limitations on the authority of homeowner associations, contact our office.
Landlords and tenants: Landlords and tenants both have a legal interest in the same property. Many difficulties between landlords and tenants could be avoided with better communication and a clear understanding of their rights. It is important for each to understand what rights they have and what rights they do not have in the property.
