Real Estate Closings

My primary focus is on estate planning, but I also represent clients in the purchase and sale of residential real estate. Since owning a home is a significant investment, consulting with an attorney before signing a real estate contract can help safeguard this investment. Among the services I offer is a legal review the initial real estate contract, which is usually proposed by the realtor, negotiating any necessary changes. I then help clients navigate through the purchase or sale process, preparing any necessary documents for the sale or purchase of a home. I represent clients at the closing. I offer competitively priced title insurance through Attorney Title Guarantee Fund, Inc. And I can assist in mortgage origination through Capital Funding, Inc.

Another area of real estate law in which I represent clients is in dealings with condominium associations. Condominium associations may propose unreasonable age or pet restrictions or parking regulations. There may be unresolved repair issues or insurance problems. In some cases disputes must first go through a mediation process, and as a trained mediator I can represent you in these negotiations as well.

If you would like to discuss having me represent you in the sale or purchase of residential real estate or in your post-purchase ownership concerns, please call me at 312-427-9150 or contact me online for further information.
