Edward L. Freer, Attorney at Law, has over 20 years of experience representing buyers and sellers of residential real estate.  Typical residential real estate transactions involve:

• Negotiating purchase and sale agreements

• Negotiating, preparing and reviewing the contract of sale and riders

• Reviewing title reports and resolving title issues, such as encumbrances, liens or encroachments

• Working with a client's lender (for Purchasers)

• Advising clients of seller's obligations (for Sellers)

• Attending the closing and thoroughly explaining the loan and transfer documents you are signing  

For many, buying a home is the most expensive purchase of a lifetime, and there can be a significant monetary down payment at stake. It can also be a confusing process for many people, especially first time home-buyers.

To make sure your transaction proceeds to the closing table as painlessly as possible, you need a real estate attorney who:

• has the experience and who will take the time to explain the home-buying or selling process in language you can understand, not legalese.

• will take the time to answer your questions because you have a right to fully understand every aspect of your real estate transaction.

• knows the area, knows the people involved in real estate transactions, and knows the local customs and practices.

• can make sure you have access to all the information you need when making important decisions.

• will handle your transaction personally, being aware of every minute detail that makes it "your" transaction, and will never make you feel reluctant to ask questions.
