REAL ESTATE REPRESENTATION
If you are a Seller, Buyer, Realtor or Lender, you need excellent legal representation when dealing with Real Estate, your largest single investment.
Real estate or real property is land and the buildings on it. Real estate law governs who may own and use the land.
This simple concept includes a wide range of different legal disciplines. Real estate may be either residential or commercial. It can be owned by one person but used by another through rental arrangements.
Land can be bought or sold, and due to its high value, there are many local laws that ensure real estate transactions are properly performed and recorded.
Land may also pass between family members through estate planning or may be owned by more than one person.
Finally, state and local governments have rules concerning the purposes for which land may be used — for example, each plot of land must be used according to local zoning laws, and landowners may not damage the surrounding environment.

In most cases, the real estate attorney provides legal guidance for individuals relating to the purchase or sale of real property.
