Rocky Mount Real Estate Closing Attorneys
Before finalizing the sale or purchase of a home, condominium, or commercial real estate development, certain legal and financial protections should be in place. If undisclosed property damage, environmental problems, or financing issues arise after property has been legally transferred, the cost of litigation could be expensive -- if the terms of your contract don't mandate mediation in the first place. At the law office of Keel, Lassiter, Duffy & Sperati, our real estate lawyers meticulously review every aspect of a real estate closing. Since protecting our clients from unwanted liability is our foremost concern, we identify language and clauses in contracts that place an undue burden on our clients when disputes, foreclosure, damage, or title problems arise.

Working with a Real Estate Agent -- Some Considerations
Not everyone hires a lawyer to help them with a real estate closing. Some people might even tell you working with a good real estate agent is enough. Keep in mind, however, real estate agents have a financial interest in making sure closings are finalized with as little trouble as possible: it is only after every paper is signed and the check deposited in the bank that they receive their commission. As a result, contract terms that are not in your best financial or legal interest may be explained away or rationalized as "normal" in order to avoid problems or delays at a closing.
What We Bring to the Table -- Working with a Real Estate Lawyer
Alerting clients to vulnerabilities in a real estate contract, financing plan, or title transfer is our first priority. For instance, many contracts contain terms requiring a seller and buyer to enter into mediation if a dispute arises after the sale of a home or property. However, mediation can be both costly and unsatisfying: not only will you have to pay a mediator, you will also have to pay an attorney to represent you as well. Additionally, a mediator is interested in finding terms both parties can accept, which almost always involves compromise on your part in order to get some portion of what you want.
At Keel, Lassiter, Duffy & Sperati, we position our clients to protect themselves both financially and legally in real estate closings. We discuss different kinds of liability, offering revisions and deviations to contract terms that reduce your exposure to potential legal complications in the future.
