If you are looking for a real estate attorney who will deliver professional and affordable real estate legal services you have come to the right place. Not only am I a licensed real estate attorney, but I am also a licensed real estate broker. My grandfather was ill and we were told by the doctor to put his affairs in order. We called Mark to do a Beneficiary Deed and he was able to draft the Deed for signature the same day we called.
Needless to say my grandfather passed away 3 days later allowing us to avoid probate altogether because his house was his only asset. This allowed us to ultimately sell the property quickly and split the proceeds among myself and my brother and sister which was what my grandfather wanted. I would recommend Mark to anyone needing a real estate lawyer.
We sold our house FSBO and went to closing and it turned out that there were several liens against our house that we were unaware of. Mark was able to get the liens settled and removed and we were able to sell our home.

Services
Over the years, I have had law partners and been in law partnerships and office sharing arrangements.
I have spent my share of money on advertising and overhead.
What I found over the years is the overhead of such arrangements often made it very difficult for clients to pay the fees necessary to do a great job and also cover all of the expenses and overhead of such arrangements and advertising.
In those instances, I found that I was not able to spend the time I wanted with clients and on client issues because a lot of the fee I was charging was simply going to cover the costs of my overhead.

After graduating from law school in 1990, Mark ventured out on his own in private practice specializing in bankruptcy law.
As a bankruptcy attorney, Mark represented thousands of clients in cases involving foreclosures throughout the mortgage crises which included creditors taking judgments, mortgage defaults, landlord issues, judicial and non-judicial liens on property, clouds on title, mortgage defaults, escrow impound discrepancies, and other real estate related issues.
In 2005 Marks focus shifted to real estate law which began by drafting leases and sale agreements, enforcing and defending those agreements in Court, reviewing title work, assisting in the removal of liens on property, filing mechanics liens, and otherwise facilitating those involved in real estate transactions and disputes.

I can represent you as both a real estate agent/broker and also attorney.
In most cases I am able to act in both capacities for the same fee that would be charged in a typical agency transaction.
In other words, you are getting both a real estate agent/broker and lawyer for the price you would have paid anyway had you not hired me at all.
Or to put it even more simply, I can absorb whatever legal fee?s are incurred into the commission earned in a sale transaction.
I own my own properties as a real estate investor and own my own real estate brokerage.

REAL ESTATE AGENTS by law can only get paid if a sale occurs.
This creates a conflict in the agent's interest in being paid, and the client's interest in getting the best deal.
This conflict causes a lack of transparency that results in Buyers and Sellers feeling like they are constantly in the dark.
FLAT FEE LEGAL PROTECTION is designed to provide a layer of protection for Buyers and Sellers that does not currently exist in the typical real estate agent transaction.
For a flat fee you have an attorney in place ready to review and discuss every document that is presented to you by your agent or title company before you sign.

In some cases a seller or buyer may choose to not involve a real estate agent or bank and this is known as For Sale By Owner.
With an owner finance sale the typical checks and balances such as surveys, appraisals, inspections, title work, and approved real estate forms often are not utilized.
In these cases it is absolutely critical to have an experienced real estate attorney who represents only your interests.
There are many things to consider in drafting a sales contract - who the appropriate parties to the contract are going to be, the amount of down payment, interest rate, amortization, deciding to record or not record the contract with the recorder of deeds office, type of deed to be delivered, whether the contract is assignable or not, limits on borrowing or encumbering the property during the term of the contract, time limit for refinancing, and consequences to the buyer or remedies for the seller for failure to perform on the terms of the contract just to name a few.
