Whether you are buying or selling your home, or developing  a parcel of real estate, it can be an unfamiliar and daunting undertaking for most people. Many times, the purchase of a home is the single largest investment an individual will make in his or her lifetime.  You need the sound guidance of an experienced real estate attorney to protect your interests.

I have over 37 years of experience in representing clients in all phases of real estate transactions, from negotiating the contract, obtaining financing, working through the inspection phase, and coordinating the closing of the sale and/or purchase. Many issues could and do arise, from physical structural defects of the house such as mold and asbestos,  unforeseen title problems, or open construction permits and Use and Occupancy agreements and boundary/survey issues. My experience gained through hundreds of  successful closings will enable me to address these issues efficiently so that  your real estate transaction  progresses  smoothly to closing. 

Variances and land subdivisions entail requesting relief from  municipal land use boards and requires specific knowledge of zoning laws, code regulations and local procedural rules.  We can advise and guide you through the process of giving notice to abutting owners, preparing for the public hearing and presenting the necessary witnesses and evidence to support your application for the requested relief, be it a major subdivision, site plan or soil movement application or set back variances.
