Real Estate Transactions

If you're a developer, real estate transactions can get complex. Most any transaction will include basics like site acquisition, land use and zoning, real estate tax law, deal structuring, financing, disposition, and more. Get the insights you need for a successful transaction in Montgomery County and Bucks County by talking with our real estate transaction attorneys.

Many real estate transactions quickly become involved and require a series of critical actions:

  • Funding acquisition
  • Deal underwriting
  • Liability assessments
  • Due diligence
  • Title and survey examination
  • Zoning and permit due diligence
  • Insurance history
  • Environment assessments
  • Wood-boring insect inspection
  • Financial analysis
  • Americans with Disabilities Act audit
  • Additional expenses

You can quickly see why it's challenging to go through the process without appropriate legal insights from a real estate transaction attorney.
