 Overview of Residential Real Estate


In the residential real estate industry, there are several situations that buyers and sellers frequently encounter. If you're a buyer, you may be diving into purchasing a home, negotiating lease agreements, or considering property exchanges. As a seller, your journey could involve selling properties, crafting contracts, and resolving any disputes that may arise. Regardless of which side of the deal you’re on, the following aspects of your real estate transaction will carry the utmost importance. 

Title Searches

Property Boundary Issues

Property Boundary Issues

 

Title searches play a crucial role in residential real estate transactions. They involve a thorough examination of public records to confirm the legal ownership of the property and to identify any claims, defects, or other issues that might impact the transaction. These could include liens, easements, or restrictions that could affect the use or resale of the property. 

Conducting a comprehensive title search is vital to ensuring that your investment is secure and that you won't face unexpected legal issues or costs in the future. As your attorney, I will facilitate this process and work closely with title companies to handle any issues that might come up, ensuring a smooth transaction and peace of mind for you.

Property Boundary Issues

 

Property boundary issues can often emerge as a significant challenge in residential real estate transactions.

Disagreements over the precise extent and limits of a property can lead to lengthy disputes that may slow down or even halt transactions. These disputes could arise due to discrepancies in property descriptions in historical deeds or conflicts between neighbors regarding fencing, trees, or structures that encroach on the perceived boundaries. 

To prevent such disputes, it's advisable to conduct a professional land survey as part of the transaction process. This survey will provide a precise, legally recognized description of the property boundaries. I can assist in arranging for these surveys and dealing with any boundary issues that may arise, ensuring a clear and undisputed understanding of your property's limits.

Home Inspections

Home Inspections

 

Home inspections form a crucial part of residential real estate transactions, offering an in-depth examination of a property's current condition. A professional home inspector will assess the home's structure, plumbing, electrical systems, HVAC systems, and more, highlighting any existing or potential issues.   

This process is key as it provides invaluable insights to the buyer about the home's condition, allowing them to make an informed decision before moving forward with the purchase. It might also provide leverage in price negotiations or requests for repairs. As your legal counsel, I will guide you through the home inspection process, helping you understand the inspection report and its possible impacts on your transaction.
