Residential Real Estate
When buying or selling your home, hiring an NJ real estate lawyer can give you the peace of mind you need to complete the transaction.
Residential Real Estate Law
If you are preparing to buy or sell a home in New Jersey, it is important for you to understand the legal implications involved. While banks, mortgage lenders, and title companies often present their contracts as “form” agreements, these contracts are often heavily one-sided, and negotiating the terms – or at least understanding the terms before you sign – is crucial in making informed decisions.
Too often, home buyers and sellers simply agree to sign on the dotted line, and in doing so they assume responsibility for costs, fees, and liabilities that could have been avoided.
Residential Real Estate Purchases and Sales
When buying or selling a home, it is important to get an attorney involved early in the process. While there may be a “closing attorney” assigned to your transaction by the lender, his or her role is not to advise you regarding your best interests. Even highly-experienced buyers and sellers will benefit from engaging an attorney to represent them; for first-time homebuyers, hiring a lawyer can give you the peace of mind you need to settle into your new home.
Steven Segalas routinely helps homeowners and homebuyers with issues such as:
- Understanding loan agreements and evaluating financing alternatives
- Negotiating and exercising contingencies in home purchase agreements
- Resolving unexpected issues that arise prior to closing
- Lien and title issues
- Escrow and disbursement of funds
- Closing home purchases and sales
