Legal Support from Offer to Closing

Our firm is experienced in all stages of the residential home buying process. We work hand-in-hand with your realtor and lender to make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

Pre-Contract and Offer Stage

Before you make an offer, we help you:

• Review property disclosures and inspection results
  
  

• Secure financing and confirm loan terms
  
  

• Understand your legal obligations
  
  

• Prepare a competitive offer that protects your interests
  
  

Contract Negotiation

Once your offer is accepted, we’ll review and help you negotiate key terms in the purchase agreement, including:

• Contingencies for financing, inspections, or the sale of your current home
  
  

• Seller concessions or repair requests
  
  

• Earnest money protections and timelines
  
  

• Title and property tax considerations
  
  

We’ll ensure the contract reflects your needs and safeguards your rights as a buyer.

Handling Inspections & Due Diligence

A home inspection is a critical step that can uncover issues affecting the property’s safety or value. If any problems arise, we’ll help you:

• Renegotiate the purchase price
  
  

• Request that repairs be made before closing
  
  

• Walk away from the deal under appropriate contingencies
  
  

Our attorneys provide practical legal advice to ensure you’re not caught off guard by hidden defects or unfavorable conditions.
