Preparing to Buy a Home

When it comes to real estate transactions, an experienced attorney can help make the process of buying a home smoother and less stressful. A lawyer can work with you and your real estate agent to navigate the legal complexities involved in preparing for a purchase, including securing financing. As you determine what you are looking for in the property you are planning to purchase, you can establish a price range that will fit your budget. By working with lenders with the assistance of an attorney to receive pre-approval for a loan, you can be prepared to begin looking at available properties. Once you have identified the home that you wish to purchase, we can work with you to ensure that the transaction will proceed smoothly.

Negotiating a Purchase Price and Real Estate Contract

Once you are prepared to make an offer on a home, you can work with your real estate agent and your attorney to make an offer that will be acceptable for the seller. When your offer is accepted, you and the seller will enter into a purchase contract that will detail the terms of the transaction. Your attorney can help you understand the terms of your real estate contract, including any conditions that may benefit you or limit your rights as a buyer.

During this phase in the real estate transaction process, your attorney can provide advice on how to best negotiate with the seller to establish reasonable terms. We will advise you on the contingencies that may be included in the contract, such as terms that allow either you or the seller to back out of the transaction if financing cannot be secured, if you are unable to sell your current home, or if the seller is unable to purchase another property.

We can also help you address issues related to home inspections. This can be a crucial component of a real estate transaction, and an inspection may uncover major problems that need to be repaired or other concerns that could affect the value of the home. Our attorney can work with you to determine the best ways to handle these matters, which may include requesting that the seller perform repairs, asking for a reduction in the purchase price to cover the costs of repairs, or even backing out of the transaction altogether. We will ensure that your financial interests will be protected as you work to complete your transaction.

Representation During Home Closing

On the closing date, you will sign all paperwork related to the purchase of your home and the initiation of your mortgage loan. This process can be confusing, but with our help, you can complete your closing as quickly and easily as possible. We will be there with you at the closing, walking you through all of the documents you are signing and explaining your rights and obligations. We will answer any questions you may have during this process, and we will address any concerns while ensuring that you will be prepared to take possession of the home once the closing process is complete.
