At Spitler Huffman, LLP. we can handle all aspects of real estate law for you, whether your transaction be residential or commercial in nature.

Residential Transactions: There is more to purchasing or selling your house than signing documents and turning over the keys to the new owners. Real estate can hold hidden problems. The home or building may have construction defects or problems such as mold or drainage issues. Previous owners may not have fulfilled their obligations on the property and have left behind unpaid taxes, mechanics liens and mortgages that they fail to disclose. Our attorneys ensure that residential real estate transactions proceed smoothly. A few of our services include:

    • Reviewing a contract with a realtor in the sale or purchase of real estate
    • Assistance in drafting or reviewing a purchase agreement
    • Preparation and of documents for clients so they may sell or buy without a realtor
    • Preparation of deeds and other closing documents
    • Resolution of unforeseen problems, including construction defects, unpaid taxes, mechanics liens and mortgages that sellers fail to disclose

Our real estate lawyers uphold the highest standards of professionalism, determining that property descriptions are accurate, funds are properly deposited, and earlier liens are discharged. In order to provide complete and full service to our real estate clients, we have developed a close relationship with American Title Agency, Inc. Although it is certainly not necessary or a requirement to use American Title for your title work, our consistent communication with American Title Agency, allows our real estate attorneys to quickly coordinate the paperwork necessary to close a transaction.

Commercial Transactions: The lawyers of our firm serve real estate professionals and their companies, banks, savings and loans and other commercial lenders, developers of residential subdivisions, developers of shopping centers, office buildings and industrial parks. A few common actions our real estate attorneys take on behalf of commercial clients include:

 

  • Financing of real property assets; leases for commercial, retail and office uses
  • Managing construction contracts and construction-related issues
  • Resolution of disputes in connection with purchase contracts, leases, mortgages, mechanics' liens, construction contracts, property line disputes, and other disputes and claims relating to real property
  • Handling land use, annexation, eminent domain issues, including rezoning, variances and conditional use permits. Our attorneys can determine whether the zoning is correct for your type of business. If it is not, we can help you work with the proper government departments to get the issues resolved. We can also establish whether previous use of the property has compromised its safety or created environmental issues.
  • Acquisition and development of real property for manufacturing, industrial, commercial, retail, residential and other uses, including advising clients regarding structure of ownership entities and transactions and tax implications. Our real estate lawyers can determine whether the chain of title is free of potential problems or whether title actions must precede the closing.
