Selling a home can be an exciting yet daunting process.

With the right real estate attorney by your side, you can make sure the process goes as smoothly as possible.

At Gateville Law Firm, our real estate lawyer has the knowledge and experience needed to help sellers navigate residential home sales successfully. From contract negotiations to closing a deal, we can make sure your interests will be protected, and we will help resolve any issues that may arise that could affect your ability to complete the sale. We will guide you through every step of selling your home, providing peace of mind and assurance that you will be able to realize the greatest possible benefits from this transaction.

Negotiating a Fair Price for Your Property

When you put your home on the market, you may receive multiple offers from prospective buyers. Determining which offer to accept is not always easy. While accepting the highest offer may seem like the best choice, there are a variety of other factors that may need to be considered. A buyer's offer may come with conditions, and you will need to be sure to understand the time frame of the transaction, the contingencies that are being requested, and any other issues that may affect your rights and obligations.

Our lawyer can help you negotiate fair and acceptable terms in a purchase contract. By reviewing the offers made and the terms being requested, we can help you create counter-offers that will protect your interests and ensure that the terms of the transaction will meet your needs. We can advise you on how the contingencies in a contract may affect you, including contingencies that may allow you to back out of the sale if you are unable to secure financing for a new home. By ensuring that you fully understand the terms of your transaction, you can be prepared to finalize the closing process and move to your new home.

Assistance With Issues That May Arise During a Residential Transaction

To ensure that your home sale will go through within the expected time frame, we will work to identify and address any issues that may affect the transaction. These may include title concerns that could affect your ability to transfer ownership of the home to the buyer. We will conduct a title search and review public records to make sure the title is clear, and if there are any liens, encumbrances, or other issues, we will work to resolve these matters quickly and effectively.

We can also help address issues related to the home inspection performed by the buyer. If an inspection uncovers any defects in the home or issues that could affect the value of the property, the buyer may request that you perform repairs. We can advise you on what types of repairs you may need to make and whether you may be able to reject any of the buyer's requests. If necessary, we can help you negotiate agreements with the buyer, such as reducing the purchase price of the home to account for repairs that the buyer will perform at a later date. During these negotiations, we will advocate for your interests, and we will ensure that you will not be bullied into agreeing to unreasonable demands.

Before the closing date, we will prepare all necessary paperwork to ensure that ownership of the home can be transferred successfully. During the closing process, we will explain all documents that you will be required to sign, ensuring that you fully understand how your rights and financial interests will be affected. Once the closing process is complete, we will make sure all paperwork is filed correctly, and if any issues arise following the closing, we will work with you to resolve these issues successfully.
