Real estate FAQ
Do I really need an attorney for a home purchase?
In Illinois, attorneys play a central role in residential transactions — reviewing and negotiating the contract, handling attorney review and inspection issues, clearing title problems and representing you at closing.
What kinds of title problems can come up?
Judgments, tax liens, unreleased mortgages and inheritance issues can all cloud a title. We identify and resolve them before they derail your closing.
Can you help with a short sale?
Yes. When a sale won’t cover the mortgages and liens on a property, we help negotiate with lenders and guide the sale to completion.
