After “location, location, location,” we think the next rule of Real Estate is “law, law, law.” Whether you’re the buyer or the seller, a successful real estate transaction requires covering the finer points of often complex deals. For that reason, it’s nice to have a lawyer who is well-versed in all aspects of real estate: purchases and sales, leasing, financing, and other transactional needs. At Arcus Legal, we advise buyers, sellers, developers, investors, lenders, and borrowers. We cover residential and commercial transactions, including multi-residential, industrial and institutional properties. Our experience includes:
- Residential property purchases and sales;
- Commercial property purchases and sales;
- Development financing and management;
- Commercial leases;
- Planning and zoning issues and applications; and
- Assessment appeals.
Should you have a real estate transaction on the horizon, come speak to us early in the process so you can take the next steps with confidence.
