Real Estate Closings & Transactions

Our firm has represented various parties in real estate closings, transactions, finance and development – buyer, sellers, lenders, developers, municipalities, contractors, lien holders, landlords and tenants, to name a few. We have handled a wide range of matters from traditional residential real estate transactions and closings to post-tax deed and commercial/retail land acquisition and development.

​

Some of the specific areas in which we practice are:

• Purchase and sales

• Multiple-party exchanges

• Acquisitions and sales with municipalities

• Title disputes – condemnation, eminent domain, adverse possession, probate issues

• Lease drafting and negotiation

• Landlord and tenant issues – residential and commercial

• Construction disputes – contractors, subcontractors, owners

• Mortgage and financing

• Loan workouts and refinance

• Development issues

• Real estate partnerships and joint ventures

• Condominium issues

• Judgment and lien satisfaction

• All related areas of litigation

 

We know that every matter is unique because clients and their real estate transactions are unique. While we are prepared to obtain favorable results through litigation, we attempt to develop strategies to position matters for efficient and cost-effective resolution consistent with the client’s objectives, and to make use of alternative dispute resolution procedures wherever appropriate. Many of our clients have switched from their “closing attorney” to SMLG for post-tax deed and other complex transactions because some attorneys and/or title companies run into problems dealing with various issues that we deal with regularly. We look forward to meeting with you to discuss your legal needs.
