At the Law Offices of John J. Brandlin, Jr. we assist clients in greater Orange County, California in buying and selling, financing, and other transactions involving real estate, including the following:
Commercial and Residential
- Purchase and Sale of Real Estate
Buyers need to protect themselves so that they can back out of a transaction if the property has problems or they cannot obtain the financing they require. Sellers need to know that their buyer's terms and contingencies are reasonable. Many broker agreements contain provisions that can be used to provide these protections but are sometimes overlooked. We can help you protect yourself. - Broker Agreements and Contracts
A good agreement with the broker will motivate the broker to work actively on your behalf. - Escrow Instructions
Escrow instructions must be reviewed together with the purchase agreement so that you do not agree to changed or new terms. If you are putting money into escrow, you need to know how difficult it will be to get it back if the deal falls through. - Deeds
These are the documents in California that are used to transfer ownership of property from one party to another. The manner in which the title is vested in the owners is often important for tax purposes. - Title Insurance
The exceptions to coverage are the most important part of a title insurance policy. You should have assistance to be sure there are no problems. - Financing
A lender or a mortgage broker is trying to put together a deal, not protect your interests. We can help you protect your interests so that you'll know what you are getting into with your loan. - Leases
Commercial leases in particular contain pages and pages of small print. We can help you cut through the less important issues and focus on the most important issues. - Homesteading
Homesteading your home enables you to protect your equity, up to the limits provided in the law. - Joint-Owner Agreements and Contracts
Whether between two or more people owning a home or commercial building, or an agreement between the person putting up money and a person occupying and paying the mortgage, you should have a written agreement that specifies who will do what, the conditions under which the property can be sold, and, if sold, how the proceeds will be divided.
