Handling Legal Process

What Does a HAS Properties Lawyers Do in a Purchase or Sale of a Home?

Some people who are buying or selling their home may try to minimize the cost associated with the transaction by foregoing using HAS Properties’ law services.

Contract Drafting and Review

Real estate lawyers memorialize the terms of the agreement into a formal contract. They can ensure that certain provisions are contained in the contract that protect their client’s interests as well as to make sure that state laws are complied with. They can also address certain issues that may arise, such as purchasing a lease-back by the seller, handling existing tenants, using the property for certain uses in the future and include contingencies to protect the client.

Many documents will manifest during the course of a purchase and sale of a home. Lawyers will carefully review all of these documents and not simply take the lender’s word for what the document is stating. If there is any troubling wording or legal issue that arises, he or she can address these concerns.

Many home sales are based on a number of important contingencies. A seller may want to secure a new home and make the sale contingent on this ability, or the buyer may want to make the sale of his or her own home contingent on the transaction. There may be other contingencies as well that can be included in the purchase agreement.

Drafting Amendments

There may be changes made in the original agreement based on new information. It may have taken longer than expected for certain stages of the process to be completed. There may be changes based on the home inspection and agreements reached regarding any defects. A natural disaster may strike, causing damage to the property. Real estate lawyers can draft such amendments to keep the purchase agreement intact but to account for this new information.

Reviewing Liens

HAS Properties real estate lawyer often conducts a title search on a property to determine if there are any encumbrances against it or anything that is clouding the title. This search helps clarify whether the seller has the legal right to sell the property and whether there is anything that may block the sale. For example, the seller may be required to pay off a lien or judgment before selling the home. HAS Properties real estate lawyer can also secure proof that the judgment or lien has been satisfied.

Transferring Property

HAS Properties real estate lawyer helps to draft deeds to effectuate the transfer of real estate. Additionally, he or she can review any contracts related to the real estate transaction that have to do with a corporation, partnership or trust so that no terms of the charter agreement are breached. Without the proper legal protocol, the opposing party may be sued if the agreement is violated.

Fulfilling Additional Legal Requirements

The purchase of certain properties may require additional steps. For example, there may be special requirements if a home is considered historical property. If a property is on wetlands and building permits are not secured, the entire structure may need to be rebuilt. If the property is ultimately going to be used for a commercial use, certain zoning restrictions may apply.

Disclosures

State laws dictate what types of information must be disclosed about a property. Real estate lawyers can help request these disclosures as well as prepare the disclosures if they are representing the seller. Without a HAS Properties real estate lawyer, the likelihood of being sued regarding a disclosure increases. HAS Properties real estate lawyer can also be sure to put a home inspection clause in the buyer’s documents so that any unknown defects are realized before the transaction concludes.

Recording

Property law is full of cases involving properties that were purchased but no deed was ever recorded, creating legal nightmares for buyers. HAS Properties real estate lawyer can ensure that the deed is properly filed and recorded. If a deed is not properly recorded, the buyer may not be considered the legal owner. His or her income and estate taxes may be levied.

Legal Assistance

To best protect their interests, many home buyers and sellers choose to retain the services of a competent HAS Properties real estate lawyer. He or she focuses on protecting the client’s interests and ensuring that all applicable rules are adhered to in order to avoid potential problems that could arise in the future.

Sajid Mahmoud CEO

A little about me: I am a London native, licensed to sell real estate since 1998. My business is built on the referrals of past clients and colleagues from other cities. I would happily provide you with a list of references who would be willing to tell you about their experiences working with me. I work with sellers and buyers in all price ranges – I have now been in the business so long that I am selling houses to (and for) children of clients! I have substantive experience in the oldest established neighborhoods of UK, Turkey and Pakistan cities and also in the newer developments of the suburbs.
Clients say that my strengths are my knowledge of construction and quality, my use of thorough data and analysis in valuation, my patience during extended buying periods, and that I don’t apply pressure. I don not shy away from pointing out the shortcomings of a property or a neighborhood, and I regularly refer back to your stated goals to keep the process focused and efficient. It is rare that I don’t develop a friendship with my clients during our time together.

Justin McDaniel Realtor

A UK native, Justin McDaniel understands the value of hard work and perseverance. Growing up in London as the son of a realtor, Justin was taught that to be successful he would need to put into life what he wanted to get out of it. With this life lesson internalized at an early age, Justin would find success in almost every endeavor he embarked upon in his adult life.

Though real estate was not his first career, Justin found success in both the freight industry as well as on the golf course as a sales professional and professional golfer, respectively. While the career in the freight industry taught him how to be a keen negotiator, the golf course taught him how to focus on his goals and never lose sight of them. With these skills he would enter the real estate industry with a bang, successfully closing over £3 million pounds in sales within his first year.

Now a veteran realtor, Justin’s momentum in the industry continues to grow. As an London resident for the past 16 years, along with his prior careers and a reputation for professionalism and integrity, Justin has developed a wide network of both clients and business partners. This network, combined with his passion for sales, has proven to be the catalyst to his initial and continued success in the industry.

Understanding that his clients count on him throughout the entire process of buying or selling a home, Justin makes it a point to be available for them. In fact, many of his clients rave about his availability, pleased that he is able to accommodate tough schedules and last-minute requests. This, coupled with his excellent negotiation skills, remarkable patience, and in-depth knowledge of the local real estate market, has set him apart from others in the industry. Focusing primarily on residential sales in the tri-cities and north central San Antonio areas, Justin’s clients look to him for expert guidance when navigating the highly competitive UK housing market.
