As the price of properties goes higher and higher, the restrictive covenants and association by-laws become more common, and the loans get more complicated, it is becoming more important to have your own real estate lawyer involved in the buying or selling of a house. Buying and selling property require lots of legal paperwork; agent contracts, sales contracts, mortgages, the list seems endless. All of these documents place legal obligations and restrictions on the parties to the sale. Understanding all of these documents requires a firm knowledge of Real Estate Law. In other words, you need a real estate lawyer. At Mark E Penfold and W Ross Milliken, we are there for you.
