Real Estate
If you are involved in acquiring, financing, holding, developing, or selling real property, you may be confronted with numerous complex legal issues. Real estate transactions can be affected by federal, state and local laws and regulations.
The real estate lawyers at Taenzer & Ettenson, P.C. have been involved in the negotiation and document preparation of written real estate agreements including 1031 tax-deferred exchanges, residential purchase and sale agreements, commercial purchase and sale agreements and, of course, residential and commercial lease agreements. Our real estate lawyers have experience with disputes concerning real property. Issues we have litigated include adverse possession, prescriptive easements, condemnation, boundary disputes, taxation, title and ownership, nuisance (including trees, branches, and roots), fences, trespass, and sale disputes (breach of contract, specific performance, non-disclosure, fraud, and misrepresentation).
We have also been involved in litigation involving real estate brokers, including claims against and in the defense of brokers/agents for negligence, fraud, misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of the duty to disclose. We have been involved in construction disputes including construction defects, liens and construction accident claims. Our real estate lawyers are also experienced with land use and zoning matters. Hiring an experienced real estate lawyer at the beginning of a real estate transaction can protect you from mistakes and errors that could lead to the loss of the real estate deal or even costly litigation.
