We represent both buyers and sellers in a full range of residential real estate transactions, including the purchase and sale of existing homes and condominiums, vacant land, bank-owned and HUD properties, short sales and new construction. We walk our clients through every step of the buying and selling process, including:

  • Contract drafting, review and negotiation;
  • Title review and clearance;
  • Protection of contingencies, including professional inspection, financing and home sale contingencies;
  • Review of condominium and homeowner association documents;
  • Preparation of the deed, powers of attorney and other sale documents;
  • Quit claim deeds;

  • Attendance at closing; and
  • Transaction dispute resolution.

We handle most transactions on a very reasonable flat-fee basis and retainer fees are never required.

Illinois Residential Real Estate Disputes

Even with a client’s best efforts, it is not uncommon for disputes to arise during a residential real estate transaction or after it closes, for example:

  • Party’s failure to timely close;
  • Failure to disclose material defects / IRRPDA;
  • Disputes with Realtors;
  • Disputes with builders or contractors;
  • Tenant and lease issues;
  • Mechanics’ liens; and
  • Lien and mortgage foreclosure.

Our attorneys are experienced negotiators and litigators. If litigation is your best or only option, we fight to make sure our clients are aggressively represented no matter what the nature of the dispute.
