BUYING OR SELLING A HOME?

The complex and intimidating realities of buying and selling a home require that you organize a team of real estate professionals to guide you through the process. An essential part of that team is your real estate attorney.

A good real estate attorney can help you avoid future litigation. Hire an attorney before the purchase agreement has been signed. Raynor Law Firm can assist in negotiations and review or prepare your contract.

Common sense should tell you that when buying a home - probably one of the biggest purchases you'll make in your lifetime - you should have as many people on "your side" as possible.

Yet, when it comes to signing a real estate contract and closing on a home, many home buyers often fail to have competent legal representation.

If the closing takes place at a title company, many home buyers believe the title agents represent them. In fact, the title company only insures the title and does not represent you. Similarly, the seller's attorney, your real estate agent and your lender do not represent you. They all have their own interests to protect.

On the other hand, a real estate lawyer can safeguard your interest as a home buyer. In preparing or reviewing title insurance, your lawyer can examine the title and resolve any title problems.

Real estate lawyers are skilled negotiators and they have a thorough understanding of the real estate process. Jeffrey S. Raynor and his professional, experienced staff will safely guide you through that process.

WANT SUCCESS?

BUILD A GOOD TEAM.

Whether you're preparing to buy, sell, exchange, lease, mortgage or refinance real estate, you need to organize a team of real estate professionals to guide you through the process. At Raynor Law Firm, we specialize in real estate transactions and title insurance.

The first person you should consider bringing aboard is a competent real estate lawyer.

Some people don't want to involve a lawyer until after the purchase agreement has been signed, but if there is something wrong with the contract, there's not a lot that can be done after it has been signed.

If you bring in a lawyer early in the process, your lawyer can ensure the contract is drafted properly.

In effect, your real estate lawyer serves as your advocate.

Every seller should have a real estate lawyer also. Your lawyer will look over the listing agreement you sign with the real estate company to sell your home. Your lawyer will be involved in negotiations with buyers and in preparation of the contract to avoid any problems later. Also, if you are required to provide title insurance for your buyer, you will get title insurance plus expert legal representation, for the cost of the title insurance, without any legal fees. That is added value.

You can start your search for a lawyer almost anywhere - referrals from friends, business colleagues, the local bar association, and so on. The most important criterion is to find a knowledgeable, experienced real estate lawyer with whom you are comfortable.

Once you have chosen and hired a real estate lawyer, your lawyer's job is to work for you and watch out for your best interest.

A good real estate lawyer will guide you through the process, and provide you with protection, legal expertise and, most importantly, peace of mind. In addition to real estate and title insurance, Raynor Law Firm also prepares wills and trusts, handles probate and trust administrations, forms and maintains corporations and other business entities, and handles corporate and other business transactions.
