Brick Real Estate Attorneys Walk You Through Every Step in the Process

One of the characteristics we pride ourselves on, is that we are not here to just rubber stamp the documents at closing. Peter and his team understand the intricacies of the process and the financial implications that a decision like a new home can have on your life and the lives of your family members.

Each process is different, however, here are the core steps we follow in any residential transaction:

1. Skillfully negotiate the contract to conclude attorney review.
2. Explain various terms and implications of your purchase agreement.
3. Review inspection reports and assist in the negotiation of inspection items.
4. Order and examine the Property Title and Survey.
5. Review mortgage documents and commitment.
6. Coordinate the closing with all involved parties.
7. Carefully review every document and contract before it is signed. Every transaction involves the preparation and negotiation of numerous loan related documents – promissory notes, security agreements, financing statements, guarantees, and loan agreements. We will prepare, review and explain the legal effect of all of your loan documents.
8. Follow up with clients after closing.

For clients who are purchasing real estate, our firm coordinates the purchase of title insurance and a survey and works with the lending institutions to prepare the mortgage closing documents. We prepare the Settlement Statement which will be signed by both buyer and seller at the closing of title. We will attend the closing with the client and after the closing, we will record the deed and the mortgage with the county clerk.

Purchase Agreements In Ocean and Monmouth County Residential Real Estate

The purchase agreement is the single most important document in the transaction. Although standard printed forms are useful, a lawyer is helpful in explaining the form and making changes and additions to reflect the buyer’s and the seller’s desires. There are many issues that may need to be addressed in the purchase agreement; below are some common examples:

• If the property has been altered or there has been an addition to the property, was it done lawfully?
• If the buyer has plans to change the property, may what is planned for the property be done lawfully?
• What happens if a buyer has an engineer or architect inspect the property and termites, asbestos, radon, or lead-based paint is found?
• What if the property is found to contain hazardous waste?
• What are the legal consequences if the closing does not take place, and what happens to the down payment? This question raises related questions: Will the down payment be held in escrow by a lawyer in accordance with appropriately worded escrow instructions? How is payment to be made? Is the closing appropriately conditioned upon the buyer obtaining financing?

Most buyers finance a substantial portion of the purchase price for a home with a mortgage loan from a lending institution. The purchase agreement should contain a carefully worded provision that it is subject to the buyer’s obtaining a commitment for financing.
