Overview

Developing opportunities for growth

The real estate sector faces constant uncertainty. For some in the industry, this has been a curse. But for others, it’s been a fruitful investment opportunity. The residential and commercial real estate markets continue to offer sellers and buyers, developers, and investors attractive opportunities in all types of properties. The success of real estate transactions depends largely on the quality of legal representation.

The real estate team at Dunlap Bennett & Ludwig advises individuals and businesses on all types of real estate transactions, both residential and commercial. By collaborating with a respected group of real estate professionals, including realtors, developers, engineers, title companies, lenders, and co-counsel, we deliver the legal knowledge and skills that enable clients to capitalize on opportunities while mitigating risk.

Our experience in the real estate industry

Dunlap Bennett & Ludwig’s real estate practice encompasses acquisitions and dispositions, easements, permit appeals, due diligence review, buyer-seller disputes, and commercial leasing.

Whether it’s the purchase or sale of office buildings, warehouse or industrial space, restaurant and retail properties, apartment complexes, or other commercial properties, our experienced attorneys leverage their knowledge of applicable laws and understanding of state and local variations to guide the intended transactions smoothly. Nonetheless, if a conflict does arise, we are prepared to aggressively litigate issues that may impede a deal.

We also assist individuals with all types of residential real estate transactions, including the purchase and sale of single-family and multi-family dwellings, townhouses, and condominiums. Our real estate attorneys work with clients to address a variety of legal and financing issues, including preparing contracts and arranging for home inspections and title searches.

What we do

  • Negotiate and prepare letters of intent and real estate agreements for all aspects of real estate transactions
  • Draft purchase and sale contracts for residential and commercial transactions
  • Address property management questions, easement issues, title matters, and insurance coverage
  • Advise on the creation of community, condo, and homeowner associations
  • Litigate real estate disputes, including residential sales agreements, commercial matters, and disputes involving commercial leasing, for both landlords and tenants
