Our firm routinely represents residential real estate buyers and sellers. We are prepared to review an initial offer, draft or review the purchase and sale agreement, and negotiate any terms that we believe could be more advantageous to our clients. Our attorneys also prepare deeds for residential sellers and act as liaisons with mortgage lenders and buyers’ attorneys. At the closing, we ensure any final adjustments are handled expediently.
When our attorneys represent buyers, we collaborate with the mortgage lender and seller’s attorney to adjust terms where necessary, according to our clients’ interests. We will explain the avalanche of documents to our clients before they sign them, so they are comfortable with the process. We may represent mortgage lenders and homebuyers for a client’s transaction and will undertake the title examination to ensure there are no clouds on it. We will also prepare closing documents.
To facilitate residential real estate transactions, our attorneys in New Bedford also represent banks, institutions, and private mortgage lenders. We obtain and review titles and examine them for problems, gather information about the property taxes and municipal charges for services such as water and sewer from the county tax collector, and go over documents with all parties.
Although there are many services that we provide you with when you are contemplating a residential real estate purchase, the primary one is to help you find and acquire your dream house or sell your home to make another buyer’s dream come true.
