A home is the most expensive purchase or sale that most people will ever make, so it is important to have an attorney representing you in the process.
An experienced residential real estate attorney can add significant value to selling or buying a home. He can ensure that the paperwork is in order and favors his clients as much as possible. He also can ensure that problems that often arise during a real estate transaction are dealt with quickly and efficiently so that the process can proceed smoothly.
Max J. Paul regularly assists clients in all aspects of residential real estate transactions. This includes preparing all of the documents, obtaining title insurance and dealing with any problems you encounter with your title insurer (including easements or other problems that the title insurer is attempting to say its policy does not cover).

Buying or Selling a Home
Many people ask themselves why an attorney may be necessary in order to buy or sell residential property, because none of their friends used an attorney in their residential real estate transactions.
However, what most people fail to consider is the sheer size of the transaction and what is at stake in most residential real estate transactions.
Given that for a buyer this is the most expensive purchase you will ever make and for a seller it is the most money you can ever hope to make at a time when selling a home, having an experienced real estate attorney represent your interests is essential.
Simply having a realtor is not enough. Realtors are essential at valuing homes and identifying the properties that will fit your budget and aesthetic, but they may not be anywhere near as familiar with all the potential problems that can arise during a residential real estate transaction and how to resolve them.
Ensuring that you have an experienced residential real estate attorney can get you to closing knowing that your interests are as protected as possible. Disputes over price, repairs, title, and a myriad of other details are common during the process, and Max has seen a buyer or seller threaten to walk away countless times over the smallest thing; he has been able to cut them off at the pass by advocating on behalf of his clients.
Given the dizzying array of paperwork that accompanies any residential real estate transaction, having an attorney to ensure you know what you are signing is a smart investment.
Other Areas of Residential Real Estate Representation
Max can also assist in a variety of other contexts where there is a need for an experienced residential real estate attorney.
Your lender may be attempting to foreclose on you and you need an experienced and aggressive litigator in your corner, or a neighbor may be constantly complaining to the neighborhood homeowner’s association that your yard is not compliant with the community rules and regulations.
Whatever the issue, attorney Max J. Paul is here to help.
Title Insurance
When purchasing a home, you want to ensure that the title to the property you are purchasing is clear. Sometimes there may be unrecorded easements that allow someone to come onto the property to do something that you are not on board with.
Sometimes the person you are buying the property from may not actually have the rights to the property they claimed to you that they did.
Title insurance helps to protect you from such unwelcome surprises, but title insurance policies often have exclusions that protect the insurance company but not you, the buyer.
Attorney Max J. Paul regularly represents home buyers to ensure that the residential property they are purchasing has clear title and that any title issues that arise are addressed by the title insurance company. Don’t let title issues prevent you from getting the home of your dreams.
