Residential real estate matters can involve a number of legal documents, financing arrangements, and practical considerations depending on the property involved and the circumstances of the transaction.

These matters may include the purchase or sale of a home, refinancing an existing mortgage, arranging new financing, or transferring ownership of property. Real estate transactions often involve buyers, sellers, lenders, and borrowers, each of whom may have different legal and practical considerations depending on the structure of the transaction.
We assist clients in navigating these issues and in completing residential real estate transactions in a practical and informed manner.

When should I contact a lawyer when buying or selling a home?

For residential real estate transactions, particularly where a realtor is involved, clients commonly engage legal services once a transaction is in place and proceeds to the conveyancing stage, to assist with coordinating financing, transaction terms, and closing requirements and to reduce the risk of delays, complications, or issues. Where a realtor is not involved, we clients typically involve us  at the contract stage, including the preparation or review of agreements, and with reviewing construction or new home contracts as required.

The information required will depend on the nature of the transaction. When we are retained, our consistent, efficient, and reliable process will advise you at the outset of the information required, which generally includes details of the property, the contract, the parties, and any financing arrangements.
