If you’re planning to purchase a home in Connecticut or Massachusetts, or if you want to acquire an investment property or other piece of commercial real estate, you may think that simply hiring an experienced real estate agent is enough.
However, if you don’t consult with a lawyer who practices commercial or residential real estate law, you could end up with a legal nightmare when it comes to property ownership. Garvey Law helps commercial and private clients complete closings and navigate other legal aspects of the real estate transaction process.

Real Estate Lawyers
As your advocate in negotiations, your real estate attorney can ensure that any transaction you enter has terms that favor your interests, not just those of a real estate agent.
Real estate lawyers also review any contracts and other legal documents before you sign, ensuring that each one is fair and will not impact your sales or purchase goals.
The purchase agreement is the most important component of any real estate transaction. Obtaining legal advice before reviewing a presented agreement or consulting with a lawyer to draft yours can protect you from expensive and messy legal issues.
Real Estate Eventualities
Real estate lawyers also review any contracts and other legal documents before you sign, ensuring that each one is fair and will not impact your sales or purchase goals.
They consider any eventuality in the transaction process, such as:
Solving a problem between buyer and seller, such as one party backing out after accepting an offer
Fairly allocating repair costs after a property inspection
Facilitating a short sale situation
Buying interest in a property from a partner or family member
Conducting large commercial or agricultural property transactions
Negotiating property sales when a tenant occupies the property
Negotiating a fair price for a property with significant structural issues
