Real Estate Law Services

Buying and selling real estate is often the largest financial transaction in a lifetime. Before buying or selling, you should consult with an experienced real estate attorney to protect your rights and receive real estate advice and legal counsel in all real estate and title insurance matters. With over twenty-five (25) years of experience in real estate transactions, Attorney Moniz is here to help guide you through the process, including providing referrals to highly recommended mortgage professionals and realtors.

It is important that each party has their own attorney to represent their interests. Buyers and sellers involved in real estate are asked to sign documents that are legal binding contracts. An Offer to Purchase and a Purchase and Sales Agreement have significant legal and financial consequences. It’s extremely important to be fully informed before signing any such binding contracts and have an experienced real estate attorney draft and negotiate a Purchase and Sales Agreement that protects your rights, interests and concerns in the transaction. This is where we come in.

Our real estate practice involves all areas of residential real estate:

• Residential Real Estate Conveyance : Represent lenders at residential real estate closings in financing residential purchases and refinances. Represent buyers at residential real estate closings in cash transaction.
