Common Concerns of Buyers
Wondering if the land fits your plans?
The law often assumes you know of and understand every document in the public record affecting the property. Make sure the land suits your expectations.
Worried about the Purchase and Sale Agreement or other documents?
One-size-fits-all contract language may not meet your unique needs or the idiosyncrasies of the property.
Uneasy about Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions?
Onerous rules can frustrate your plans to enjoy a property.
Common Concerns of Sellers
Womdering about disclosure requirements?
Not following disclosure laws can lead to legal problems after the close of escrow.
Uncertain about the asking price?
Negotiate for top dollar from a position of strength by knowing everything there is to know about your property.
Worried about future lawsuits?
Avoid future lawsuits by addressing common legal problems and risks before the close of escrow.
Bill of Rights for Homebuyers and Sellers
- Right to Know. Homebuyers and sellers have a right to know and understand both visible and invisible risks to the use of a property.
- Market-Based Pricing. Homebuyers and sellers should be able to compare properties with similar physical, legal, and regulatory restrictions on use and enjoyment to assure competitive pricing.
- Clearly Written Documents. Provisions of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and associated documents should be unambiguous and non-conflicting so homebuyers and sellers can understand what they are signing.
- First-in-Time Identification. Early identification of legal or other concerns maximizes the time homebuyers and sellers have to address them.
- Right to Choose. Homebuyers and sellers benefit from choosing legal counsel, or other real estate services, based on market forces like price and terms in an arms-length transaction.
- Timely Response. Attorneys and other real estate service professionals should respond to homebuyers’ and sellers’ inquiries in a timely manner to meet the aggressive deadlines of the contract calendar.
- Relevant Legal Information. Homebuyers and sellers deserve an assessment of their legal interests by legal counsel representing them.
- Pre-Close Legal Representation. Homebuyers and sellers benefit from legal advice delivered before the close of escrow costing “pennies on the dollar” compared to expensive and unreliable remedies available after the close.
