Real Estate Contracts
A real estate contract is an agreement between two or more parties regarding the legal rights and obligations of land and attached permanent property, such as a building. Many types of real estate contracts can be formed between multiple parties. Most commonly, these contracts include agreements to sell, purchase, rent, or lease real estate; agreements to extend or amend existing contracts; agreements to lend and pay back money, such as a loan or mortgage; and agreements to exclusively use the services of a broker or agent.
Each of these types of contracts carries legal rights and obligations for each party, is often written in dense legal language, and is subject to ever-changing laws and regulations. While your agent or broker may represent you in the real estate field, agents and brokers are not lawyers and cannot provide legal advice. With the experience of Shawn Kassman and his associates, you can feel confident entering into these agreements with a comprehensive review and complete understanding of the real estate contract.
Should a dispute with a real estate contract develop, Mr. Kassman can bring his tremendous knowledge and experience to mediate and litigate any contractual issue. Our firm regularly represents both commercial and individual clients, including property managers, tenants, investors, developers, owners, and financial institutions.
Real Estate Closings
A real estate closing is simply the final phase before a real estate contract is executed. In a closing, several parties can be present: the buyer and seller, along with their representatives; real estate agents and brokers; a title company representative; a bank representative; and other obligated parties. Many documents must be created, reviewed, negotiated, and signed throughout the closing process. It is important to carefully review all documents and paperwork regarding a real estate transaction; these documents are often long and written in legal language.
With the representation of the Law Office of Shawn R. Kassman Esq., you can be fully prepared and confident throughout the closing process. We will review all the documents and paperwork for you, ensuring a clean title and fair contract, in addition to a full explanation of the entire process. Several issues, such as financing, insurance, taxes, and clear conveyance, cannot be addressed by your real estate agent or broker. Only a real estate lawyer can provide legal advice and insight and help you avoid potential pitfalls throughout the closing process.

Do I Really Need A Lawyer?
Shawn will ask you the right questions to help you anticipate the issues that might arise in your real estate transaction. Whether you are buying or selling, Shawn will explain the legal process to you in understandable language. If you are buying a home or building for your business, the purchase is probably one of the most important purchases you will ever make.

How can you enter into agreement without fully understanding the legal and financial implications?
When Do I Need A Lawyer?
