Contract Negotiation

A real estate transaction, regardless of its size, involves dozens of contracts which can be complex, lengthy, and include legal language and jargon that can be hard to understand for people with no legal experience. Written contracts between buyers and sellers must be signed with complete understanding, as signing something can put clients at legal risk. A real estate attorney can support clients reviewing the details, reading the fine print, and ensuring all relevant documentation is in order. The attorney will also liaise with the parties involved in the transaction to discuss any changes or amendments needed in the contracts. 

Monetary Savings

Failing to hire a real estate attorney for cost savings can be more costly in the long run. Of course, working with an experienced attorney will represent an investment, but it would be minor in comparison to the financial burden that mistakes will have down the line.  Experienced professionals will be with you every step of the way, reviewing legal documentation, handling negotiations, and asking the hard questions. This can help avoid real estate litigation in the future. The financial savings and knowledge a real estate attorney can provide are limitless. If an attorney catches a potential issue with the contract, they can save you a substantial amount of time and money.

Breach of Contract

A breach of contract occurs when one party in the contract fails to meet one or more of the material terms outlined in said contract. This includes missing deadlines on agreed upon payments, and failure to follow the terms of the contract. The experts at Saade Law help clients determine the viability of your case or a case brought against you by evaluating the contract at hand under law. 

Easements 

An easement refers to the legal right a business or individual has to use another person’s property for a specific stipulated purpose and with detailed restrictions. That being said, the property owner retains ownership of said property subject to the easement and control of the property. Professionals at Saade Law can assist clients with Access and Utility easements. It is key that a person or business who is granted an easement to know if the subject property is leased or rented to a third party, as this may impact their rights and provoke future litigation. 

Code Violations

This occurs when a code enforcement officer finds that the bare standards of a property fail to meet the requirements. The standards are based on health and safety, sanitation, and sustainability and include: misplaced fire alarms and signage, electrical malfunctions, and immoderate trash or debris on the property. 

Quiet Title Actions

These types of actions do not provide financial rewards or cover property damages to the individual filing the lawsuit. This claim will define and provide a property title to the owner of the land. Saade Law has experienced landlord-tenant attorneys that can help determine the viability of the case.

Real Estate Litigation

Real estate litigation involves a dispute between buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, and other parties involved in the ownership or use of residential and commercial properties. Processes involving real estate litigation are both complex and contentious, which highlights the importance of having a team of real estate attorneys with vast experience in the field to guide you through it.
