Real estate transactions are significant investments. Whether you are buying or selling property, the experienced licensed lawyers at ULLENBERG LAW are here to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring that your interests are protected and the transaction proceeds smoothly and as expected.
Real estate brokers help you find a property to purchase or a person to buy your property, and they can help you come to an agreeable price. However, because they are not lawyers, and can only use pre-printed forms to document your transaction, they cannot customize the forms to protect you from significant risks and issues in your transaction – like addressing easements and title defects, unnecessary disclosure of property conditions, and possible environmental contamination.
Having a lawyer help you in your real estate transaction provides several key benefits:
At ULLENBERG LAW, we offer a range of services to assist both buyers and sellers in real estate transactions, which you can choose in whole or in part, including:• Initial Consultation: We discuss your goals and provide an overview of the buying or selling process.• Contract Drafting and Review: We draft or review purchase or sale agreements (or Offers to Purchase, in Wisconsin) ensuring that all terms are favorable to you.• Negotiation: We help you and your broker negotiate with the other party or their attorney to address and resolve any issues that develop during contract drafting or closing.• Title Search and Insurance: We review the title insurance commitment on the property to verify proper ownership and all help you remove all exceptions to future coverage that can be removed.• Closing Coordination: We coordinate the closing process, ensuring that all legal requirements are met and the transaction is completed smoothly.
While many clients fear a lawyer’s involvement in a real estate transaction will be expensive, their fees are generally must less than real estate broker’s commissions or even title insurance premiums. They also are cheap compared to the costs to fix mistakes after closing.
Not all real estate transactions go smoothly. When they don’t, the experienced licensed lawyers at ULLENBERG LAW can help you get your deal back on track or get you out of it with the compensation you deserve.
Before closing, issues can develop with the due diligence process, such as unexpected easements or liens being discovered, shared driveways and wells that are not documented of title, or possible environmental contamination is discovered. These and other issues can develop after closing, like the seller not properly disclosing property defects. Our team of experienced licensed Wisconsin lawyers can help you negotiate, mediate or litigate these issues to protect your interests.
