Business owners, landlords, developers and investors are among the clients she represents in commercial real estate matters. At the firm level, the commercial services listed include leases and financing, along with property acquisitions and sales. The office’s buyer representation covers due diligence and coordination with lenders, in addition to reviewing contracts and title and assisting at closing. Its title and closing services involve work with brokers, lenders and title companies to address title concerns and organize closing documentation. Not all of the firm’s property work involves a purchase or sale. It also assists with transfers within families and matters involving inherited property. Deed transfers and the associated real estate documents are part of that service, including attention to the legal and title requirements that apply.
