At my firm, Thomas McMurray, P.C., I handle a wide spectrum of real estate issues. Whether it's commercial construction, pursuing materialman's liens, or representing clients in trust litigation and probate, I'm well-equipped to assist in all aspects of real estate law. Reach out to me for representation in your real estate matters if you're located in or around Dallas, Texas, or anywhere throughout Fort Worth, McKinney, and Denton.

Real Estate Transactions

In my line of work, I often assist clients with a wide range of real estate transactions. If you're a buyer, you might be venturing into purchasing residential or commercial properties, negotiating leasing agreements, or exploring property exchanges. On the other hand, if you're selling, your journey may involve selling properties, crafting contracts, and resolving any disputes that might come your way. 

However, it's not all smooth sailing in the world of real estate transactions. Conflicts can arise from various sources, such as commercial closings. You might find yourself entangled in contract disputes where you and the other party can't agree on the terms and conditions of the agreement. Title problems may surface, such as issues with the ownership history or encumbrances on the property. Boundary disputes can spring up when there's disagreement over the exact boundaries of a property. Tax issues, like disputes over property tax assessments, can also crop up. 

Lastly, liens on a property can complicate transactions, as they represent claims against the property by creditors. In all of these situations, my role is to navigate these complexities on your behalf, ensuring a smooth and successful transaction.

Attorney Review Period for Real Estate Transactions

Here in Texas, we have what we call an attorney review period during real estate transactions. This is a window of time that allows you, whether you're the buyer or seller, to have an attorney review your transaction documents and provide legal advice. This period typically lasts for a specified number of days, during which I'll be poring over the contracts, agreements, and other relevant documents, making sure everything is in order.

During the attorney review period, I'll meticulously scrutinize the terms and conditions of the transaction, carefully examining every clause and provision to pinpoint potential issues or concerns that may arise. With my extensive legal knowledge, I will offer comprehensive guidance and recommendations to protect your interests and ensure a smooth and successful transaction.

This critical period allows for effective negotiation and the opportunity to make necessary changes to the contract, addressing any legal risks that may be present. Rest assured, I will work diligently to advocate for your best interests and provide clarity on the implications of the transaction, ensuring that you are fully informed and confident in your decisions.

Why It’s Important to Hire a Real Estate Attorney

If you're wondering why it's essential to hire a real estate attorney, allow me to explain. Firstly, I bring extensive experience in negotiating favorable terms for clients. Whether you're buying or selling a property, I'll work tirelessly to protect your interests and ensure that you achieve the best possible outcome. 

Protecting your rights is another key reason. Real estate transactions involve complex legalities, and having an attorney who can safeguard your rights is crucial. I'll thoroughly review all contracts and agreements to make sure that your rights are protected and that you're not exposed to any unnecessary risks. 

Drafting and reviewing contracts is another part of my role. Real estate contracts can be lengthy and filled with legal jargon. I'll draft or review these contracts to ensure that they accurately reflect your intentions and protect your interests. I'll also explain any legal terms or provisions to ensure that you fully understand the implications of the contract. 

Lastly, I'll identify potential issues. Real estate transactions can be fraught with potential issues and pitfalls. With my knowledge, I'll carefully analyze all aspects of the transaction to identify any potential problems or risks. This proactive approach allows us to address these issues before they escalate into costly disputes or legal complications.
