Real Estate We assist Buyers, Sellers and Lenders with both residential and commercial real estate transactions including reviewing, negotiating and preparing real estate agreements. We act as a liaison between Real Estate Agents, Lenders, participating Attorneys and other involved parties to facilitate the transaction and to resolve any issues which may come up during the process. We can assist clients with 1031 tax exchanges and can help both seasoned investors and first time home buyers with their purchase. We can also help purchasers using private financing and can draft loan documents for private financing. Additionally, we can help Buyers navigate the often confusing path to purchasing properties from the Government or properties held by major Banks through foreclosure. We have also helped clients with loan restructuring, refinances, recasting of loans and bond closings.
