Stamford, CT Residential Real Estate Attorney

Skilled Residential Real Estate Lawyer in Fairfield County and Surrounding Areas

Purchasing a home is one of the largest investments most people ever make. For this reason, it is important for home buyers to ensure that all legal issues are fully addressed prior to closing. In Connecticut, individuals who are buying or selling residential real estate are not necessarily required to retain legal counsel. However, there are numerous aspects of a real estate transaction, including binder and contract drafting, review and revision, title search review, title insurance, review of mortgage and closing documents for which your interests are best protected by the involvement of your own attorney. As such, if you are buying, selling or refinancing residential property in Connecticut, you need an experienced attorney at the closing to protect and advocate strongly for your interests.

We have an in-depth knowledge of residential real estate transactions and what is needed to arrange for a smooth and successful closing. We frequently work with buyers and sellers to address all pertinent legal matters and to make sure the interests of our clients are fully protected. We offer free initial consultations.

Professional Guidance for Residential Real Estate Closings

Real estate transactions are highly complex. There is extensive due diligence required as well as numerous legal documents that must be prepared, reviewed or revised. We provide comprehensive, personalized guidance for buyers and sellers on all legal aspects of the transaction. Our services include, but are not limited to:

• Thoroughly reviewing the terms and conditions of the binder, real estate contract, and mortgage to protect the client’s interests and make modifications where appropriate.
• The title search to verify the property is free of existing mortgages, liens, and other encumbrances that are or could result in a defect in title or cause future complications.
• Obtaining the title search to verify the property is free of existing mortgages, liens, and other encumbrances that are or could result in a defect in title or cause future complications.
• Performing a thorough review and where necessary revision of the sales agreement to verify the terms and conditions are what the client has agreed to.
• Attending the closing and thoroughly reviewing all mortgage and closing documents before you sign them.

In Connecticut, many title companies and mortgage lenders require that the buyer retain the services of an attorney to verify that the title is marketable, there are no outstanding liens or other encumbrances against the property, and that the deal will close as expected.
