Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids Real Estate Lawyers
Residential Real Estate Representation in Michigan
Residential real estate is likely the most important investment you will make throughout the course of your lifetime. From making sure transactions run smoothly to litigating issues that arise during property ownership, having the right real estate lawyer is vital to protecting your investment.
At Willis Law, we provide full-service representation in all aspects of residential real estate, from purchases and sales to litigation. We represent clients throughout West Michigan and pride ourselves on our ability to achieve solutions that are tailored to the unique needs of our clients.
Residential Purchases and Sales
From reviewing titles, mortgage documents and condominium bylaws to making sure the closing goes according to plan, having an attorney can be critical for purchases and sales, especially if you do not have a realtor. Our attorneys will be your strongest advocate throughout the purchase or sale process, looking out for your interests every step of the way, including:
- Reviewing purchase agreements and mortgage documents
- Examining the title commitment and contingency
- Reviewing HOA rules and regulations
- Reviewing land contracts
- Residential closings
- Reviewing and revising condominium bylaws and regulations
- Representing you at the closing
Residential Foreclosures
Many families in our communities are hurting as a result of the foreclosure crisis. We are strong advocates for homeowners' rights and work to find resolutions that are in the best interest of our clients. If your family is threatened by foreclosure, we can help you achieve the best possible outcome.
Residential Real Estate Litigation
In our practice, we do everything in our power to proactively identify and resolve issues for our clients. However, no one is completely immune to the possibility of litigation. Our residential real estate attorneys are skilled at litigating issues after the purchase if necessary, including land use and zoning disputes, easements, construction defect claims and title issues.
