The purchase and sale of real estate hinge on the contract between the buyer and seller. These agreements are not mere formalities—they establish the legal framework for the entire transaction. A real estate attorney can:

• Draft and review contracts to ensure they are fair and legally sound.
• Negotiate terms such as contingencies, repair obligations, and timelines to protect your interests.
• Anticipate risks and include provisions to address potential issues, such as disputes over property boundaries or inspection results.

Without legal representation, buyers and sellers may overlook key details or sign agreements that are not in their favor.

The purchase and sale agreement is the cornerstone of a real estate transaction. This document outlines the responsibilities of each party and sets the stage for closing. An attorney can:

• Ensure all critical terms are included, such as financing contingencies, inspection periods, and closing conditions.
• Advise on how to handle unique circumstances, such as selling property with tenants or resolving title issues.
• Identify and resolve ambiguities or inconsistencies in the agreement that could lead to disputes.

Our team at Cassidy Law works closely with clients to craft agreements that minimize risks and clarify obligations, ensuring a smoother transaction for everyone involved.

Real estate transactions involve a significant amount of paperwork, including:

• Title reports
• Loan agreements
• Deeds
• Closing statements
• Disclosure forms

An attorney ensures that all documents comply with state and local laws, accurately reflect the terms of the agreement, and do not expose you to unintended liabilities.

For sellers, we help ensure that disclosures are thorough and complete to avoid future legal claims. For buyers, we examine title issues, such as liens or encumbrances, that could interfere with your ownership rights.

Real estate transactions don’t always go as planned. Disputes can arise over inspections, financing, or unforeseen circumstances. When these issues occur, having an attorney can make all the difference.

• We help buyers negotiate repairs or concessions if inspection results uncover issues.
• For sellers, we address complications with the buyer’s financing or delays in closing.
• If disputes escalate, we provide strategies to resolve them efficiently, often avoiding costly litigation.

Some transactions are more complex than others. For example:

• Are you buying or selling property as part of an estate?
• Does the property have zoning issues or pending development plans?
• Is the purchase part of a 1031 exchange or other tax-sensitive transaction?

A real estate attorney ensures these unique circumstances are addressed appropriately, protecting your financial and legal interests.

At Cassidy Law, we believe that having an experienced advocate by your side can transform the real estate process from stressful to seamless.

Whether you’re buying your first home, selling an investment property, or engaging in a more complex real estate transaction, we’re here to ensure your interests are protected every step of the way.
