Real Estate

With more than 30 years of experience examining Alabama real estate matters, our firm helps buyers, sellers, and lenders close with confidence. Real estate transactions are not “just paperwork.” The real risk is what you don’t see—title defects, easements, access issues, boundary concerns, lender requirements, and contract terms that can delay closing or cost you later. Our job is to identify problems early, resolve them when possible, and guide the transaction through closing with clarity, efficiency, and precision.

Our team includes three attorneys and experienced staff who handle residential real estate matters from contract to closing. We manage buyer and seller transactions, lender closings, and private or cash closings. We can serve as closing agent for lenders, coordinate the documentation process, and ensure proper execution and recording. We also order and review title searches, examine title, and issue title opinions. As title agents, we can issue title insurance when appropriate based on underwriting requirements, and we work to ensure our clients receive clear and marketable title.

We routinely review transactions for the issues that derail deals or create expensive disputes after closing. That includes identifying and evaluating easements and restrictions, confirming legal access, addressing condemnation and right-of-way concerns, and spotting boundary or land line issues. When title problems appear—missing releases, deed errors, unreleased liens, probate gaps, or other defects—we assist with curative work to correct issues before closing whenever possible.

We also draft and review real estate contracts, including purchase and sale agreements and related addenda. When a party fails to perform, we advise clients regarding available remedies, including specific performance and contract enforcement options. Whether you are buying, selling, refinancing, or completing a private transaction, our goal is to protect your interests, avoid preventable surprises, and get you to closing smoothly.

If you need a legal team that understands the details that matter—title, contract terms, lender requirements, and the legal realities behind the property—contact our office to discuss your transaction.
