Services
Residential Purchases and Sales
We represent buyers and sellers in residential real estate closings. We can assist with the negotiation of a purchase and sale agreement, inspection or financing problems, or simply handling the closing. If you are the purchaser, we can assist with the title insurance process, to protect the value of your investment. Purchasing or selling a home is one of the most important events in your life. Allow us to assist you to make sure that it is completed efficiently and effectively.
Commercial Real Estate Transactions
Commercial transactions present a more complex array of issues and potential problems to navigate, including zoning restrictions, environmental impact, construction related disputes, mechanics liens, landlord-tenant negotiations, insurance and other contract specific concerns. We can assist clients with any of these more complicated issues arising from a commercial transaction.
Tax Assessment and Appeals
Property tax bills here in the Northeast are some of the highest in the country. If you have concerns that your assessment is higher than it should be, you should consider an appeal. When successful, the appeals process can yield tax savings for years to come. This value of these savings has become more apparent now that Congress has limited the SALT (State And Local Tax) deduction available for use on personal income tax returns.
Land Use
Laws affecting the use and possession of land itself fall under the umbrella of “land use laws.” Sometimes land you own may be used by someone who does not legally own or possess your land. This is generally referred to as an “easement.” Easements may be granted or required for public entities, or private individuals who may cross boundaries. There are special rules concerning land use in every state, and local municipality. We can help you navigate and understand easements applicable to your property.
