Residential Real Estate
At Nash & Lodge, our highly qualified real estate attorneys can assist you in selling or buying your
home or vacation property. In many cases we are able to offer you a flat fee option to represent you in these transactions.
If the transaction doesn't go the way you planned it, our knowledgeable attorneys can help you keep the transaction
moving forward or will help get you out of the transaction under the best possible terms. When problems arise you can't
afford to go with anyone but the best.
In many situations
buyers and sellers close a transaction believing that everything went well only to find out years later that there was a problem
that they were not aware of when they closed. In most situations buyers and sellers are taking risks that they are not
aware of or are not getting the best protection that is available to them. We can help spot those issues so that they
are dealt with prior to closing and will make sure that you have the most protection possible in your transaction.
Our firm offers a wide range of services to our individual and
business clients. In many cases we are able to offer flat fee packages. Because our firm is relatively small, our clients
benefit by getting personalized, quality service that is beyond comparison. Below we have listed the services that we offer
to our clients along with a brief description.
Sellers
Sellers need to make sure that the purchase agreement
is structured to best protect their needs. Can the buyer back out of the deal? Can the seller continue to market
the property? What costs are paid for by the seller? All these questions and others are addressed by the purchase
agreement. Everything that the seller wants to happen or wants to avoid should be clearly addressed in the purchase
agreement. Once the purchase agreement is signed by the seller and buyer, their obligations and rights are locked in
place. For this reason, if you want us to review a purchase agreement that has already been drafted it is best that
we review it before it is completely signed or there must be a clause in the purchase agreement that makes the agreement contingent
upon the review of your attorney. If such a clause is not in the purchase agreement and it is fully signed, we can still
review it for you to let you know what your rights and obligations are but you are already bound to them whether you like
them or not.
Buyers
When buying a home a buyer is making the biggest investment
of their lives. Many legal documents are signed by buyers that have no real idea what they signed. These are complicated
legal documents that create rights and obligations that can greatly help or hurt the buyer. Many homeowners have recently
lost their homes because they entered into loans that they didn't fully understand. While many people in the real
estate process will try to help you understand these legal documents only an experienced, real estate attorney can truly advise
a buyer as to how these documents can affect them now and in the future.
