Real Estate Law

Residential and Commercial Real Estate Lawyer

At the Law Offices of Patrick C. McGuinness, LLC, our real estate attorney advises clients in residential and commercial real estate matters and transactions, including buying or selling a home or business.

Buying a home is a large investment. Consulting with Patrick C. McGuinness, our real estate lawyer, can help protect that investment. In addition to residential homes, we advise clients who are buying and selling condominiums and cooperatives. At our law firm, based in Red Bank and Scotch Plains, New Jersey, our real estate lawyer helps clients make sound legal decisions during their real estate transaction, from the initial contract, to inspections, through closing.

The real estate law services of the Law Offices of Patrick C. McGuinness, LLC, include:

  • Preparing purchase and sale contracts;
  • Reviewing and modifying broker-prepared contracts of sale;
  • Overseeing inspections, surveys, and title searches; and
  • Preparing closing documents and representation during closings.

Do You Really Need Flood Insurance?

Do you know if your property is in a flood zone? Our real estate lawyer will help you apply to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA). If you qualify, your lender may waive the requirement to purchase flood insurance. Further, you will be reimbursed for up to two years of past flood insurance premium payments.

Commercial Transactions

Commercial transactions can be much more complicated than residential transactions and may involve the negotiation of leases, assignments, or furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FFE) agreements. In addition, extra help may be needed when dealing with the financing agent for the transactions. Most people find that they cannot do this alone. An attorney well versed in these issues is needed.

When you are buying or selling commercial property, including property associated with the sale or purchase of a business, Attorney McGuinness can help you plan for these legal issues, negotiate agreements, attend closings, and advise you throughout the commercial real estate transaction process.
