Real estate laws and contracts can be highly complex and require an interpretation or drafting by an experienced real estate attorney. If you are considering entering into a real estate transaction or agreement, you want to make sure that the contract was reviewed or drafted by an attorney you can trust. At Pugh and Payne, P.C., we look out for your best interests and will identify potential risks you may face, as well as inform you of unforeseen obligations under your contract. For BuyersIn the majority of real estate transactions, a real estate agent will draft the contract. These are form contracts that do not always take into account the unique attributes of the property or protect a buyer's rights. In most cases, you have 5 business days after you have signed the contract to have an attorney review, make modifications and change the terms of the agreement. This time period also normally allows the buyer to inspect the property and negotiate deficiencies with the other side. When representing the buyer, our attorneys will protect your rights by approving or disapproving of the contract, making appropriate modifications to the contract, negotiating home inspection issues, protecting unsatisfied contract contingencies, including financing and home-sale contingencies, and further defining the contract to protect your rights. For SellersIf you are selling your property, it is also important to have a real estate attorney who can review your contract to protect your rights in the sale. Our attorneys will make sure that your contract accurately reflects your interests and will protect you from potential liability to the Buyer, ensure that you convey clear title to the Buyer according to the terms of the contract, and help you to maximize your gain while winding-up your interests and obligations for the property you are selling. We can also represent you in a specific performance (forced closing) or breach of contract action if your Buyer refuses to close. Our real estate transactions and litigation attorneys are also highly experienced in estate planning. We can assist you in drafting an appropriate will or trust to protect your assets, including your real estate investments.
