Real Estate Transactions
Ray helps businesses and individuals put together and close their real estate deals, handling all aspects of commercial and residential real estate transactions on behalf of sellers, purchasers, lenders, developers, landlords, and tenants. Hiring a real estate lawyer early on, who represents you only, can help you protect your interests, avoid costly mistakes, and guide a transaction smoothly to its end. Whether the deal is complex or seemingly straightforward, this is an invaluable service that a non-lawyer title agency cannot provide. As an experienced real estate lawyer, an issuing agent for Fidelity National Title Insurance Company, and a former title company claims administrator, Ray is uniquely equipped to handle your real estate deal from contract to closing, and resolve any legal or title issues that may arise. Ray will work with you to structure your transaction, document it, and close it.
