Our Real Estate Services

Real estate law centers on the transactions or disputes related to real property or interest in real property, ownership, or acquisition.

Our attorneys provide top-notch legal representation, working in tandem with both commercial and residential clients in Annapolis and throughout the surrounding areas.

Resolving Real Estate Disputes

A large portion of our real estate law practice involves dispute litigation. Our experienced attorneys help resolve disputes more efficiently and smoothly and provide clients with the necessary resources to achieve their goals. Some of our real estate services encompass:

• Escrow concerns: Buy-sell agreements generally involve the use of a third-party escrow agent. When the agent fails to follow through, one or both parties may employ a real estate attorney to enforce a remedy.
• Failed sale or closing: If a buyer or seller backs out of the purchase or sale, action is needed to ensure your rights are protected.
• Boundaries and borders: Disputes frequently arise between property owners, builders, buyers, and others regarding property borders, boundaries, and easements. In some cases, deeds, titles, and maps may conflict or contain correct information, but the previous owner encroached onto the property.
• Constructive eviction: Sometimes, residential or commercial property owners who fail to correct structural or dangerous conditions will attempt to avoid the legal eviction process by declaring the property uninhabitable to forcefully evict the tenant.
• Landlord-tenant issues: Disputes between landlords and tenants are common, typically involving breaches of lease agreements, unpaid rent, fees, or fines, property damage, unkempt, defective, or unsafe property, and lease updates or modifications.
• HOAs: HOAs regularly have disputes between property owners and the governing body. These generally center around rule and regulation violations, unpaid dues, and criminal matters.

Disputes frequently happen in the real estate industry and often involve a significant sum of money. With hundreds of thousands of dollars at stake, you need an experienced legal team behind you every step of the way.

Choosing a Real Estate Lawyer

Maryland does not require hiring an attorney for real estate transactions, however, hiring an experienced real estate lawyer can save you time, money, and stress, and ensure your rights are protected. Here are some tips for finding an attorney:

• Start searching early.
• Contact your state bar association.
• Examine lawyer review websites.
• Search online for local real estate lawyers.
• Ask family, friends, or colleagues for a recommendation.

Once you have narrowed down your list of potential real estate attorneys, schedule initial consultations to evaluate each one. Look for an attorney who has the experience, success record, values, approach, philosophy, availability, and fees that fit your needs.

Fees vary by state, the number of competing attorneys in your area, and the complexity of your situation. Typically, closing fees range from hourly rates of $100 to $300 or flat rate fees up to $2,000 or more.
