Once you begin the journey into real estate, an experienced attorney can spot any mistakes and save you money at the same time. You will be relieved to have that extra pair of eyes watching your back and your investment.Whether you are a first-time buyer or selling a home, it is one of the largest purchasing decisions you will make. Without an agent, a real estate lawyer will take care of all the little details that can be overwhelming and stressful. Do not make the mistake of working alone. Blick Law Firm deals with a vast range of real estate topics, including:
Interested in purchasing property?Buyers who are considering new construction benefit from consulting a real estate attorney because the sale contracts can vary from builder to builder. Buyers who are not familiar with local builders or with real estate contracts in general, should have an advocate looking out for their best interests. Although there are real estate agents who will exclusively represent buyers or sellers, agents on both sides of the transaction are usually compensated based on a percentage of the final sales price. As a result, there is rarely an incentive to work aggressively for a lower sale price for buyers. Attorneys are held to higher legal standards in all transactions.
Are you selling a home?Transfers of real estate can become even more complex than usual when execution of an estate is involved. The dealings can easily become emotionally charged when close and not-so-close family members must agree upon selling property, especially when ownership interests were not clearly defined beforehand. An experienced and skilled real estate attorney can be indispensible in establishing a chain of title, defining appropriate types of ownership interests and ensuring that they are properly recorded in order to avoid any future disputes.

Loan ModificationWhy Hire A Loan Modification Attorney?When evaluating whether or not to hire a loan modification attorney, Tampa homeowners and others across the state of Florida who are faced with increasingly unaffordable loan payments, need to know some facts. It is very challenging to handle loan modifications without the experience of an attorney. The enormous time demands, the stress of having to deal with the lenders employees, and the complexity of the process are just three of the many reasons that people look for help with their loan modifications. If you try to handle the process on your own, you will have to realistically assess the amount of available time you have for the project. It is difficult (if not impossible) to reach anyone who has the authority to review your loan file and arrange for the modification. Most likely, you will have to spend several hours on the phone each day, either on hold or calling, hanging up and calling again. This may continue for weeks or months. If you have a job, you may not have the kind of time it takes to be as persistent as you will need to be in order to reach someone in a position of authority who is willing to work with you. And if you finally do succeed in making contact with an appropriate person, will you be able to accurately evaluate whether they are dealing with you in an open and honest manner? They are employees of the lender and have no incentive to take your best interests into consideration. That means you will be left to advocate for yourself. Aside from the complexity of the financial transaction itself, it is difficult to make good decisions during times of extreme stress. Exposing your emotional vulnerability or anger is never a good tactical move when negotiating contracts, and may put you at a disadvantage. And many people are mislead into thinking they can save money by hiring a loan modification company instead of an attorney. But an attorney knows how to analyze your individual case, based on the documentation in your file and the procedures that occurred during the origination, processing and closing of your particular loan. He can investigate your particular situation and find areas that can motivate your lender to agree to a loan modification. He can also give you legal advice and represent you in court if you need those services. A loan modification company can’t. Although hiring an attorney for loan modification may seem difficult because your finances are already stretched too thin, the outcome it produces is worthwhile when it helps you avoid foreclosure and produces a loan payment that you can afford.
Short SalesBlick Law Firm provides legal services for short sale transactions all across the state of Florida. The majority of real estate sales taking place at this time are short sales. We offer many years of expert experience when it comes to short sales services. Short sales are the sale of properties for less than the current amount owed to the lender. Most lenders are now working with sellers based upon the reduced property calues, both in Florida and throughout the country. While short sales do not allow a seller to realize any gain in the sale of their property, it is a way for many sellers to avoid foreclosure on their property.
Working with homeowners association.Every condo owner knows how complicated homeowner association bylaws can be. In real estate law, typically the larger governing bodies have the least complex laws, with the most restrictive laws imposed by the local authorities. This means state laws have fewer restrictions than counties, and counties have fewer restrictions than cities or towns. It also means that condo association rules are more restrictive than the laws for the cities that the condos are located in. And some of the association bylaws are a nightmare to navigate. An experienced real estate attorney is essential for potential buyers in order to evaluate restrictive covenants and condominium association financial obligations.We are here to help you. Blick Law Firm prides itself in real estate law. We work with probates, foreclosure defense, and title insurance services as well. With the right attorney representing you, like Blick Law Firm, you could potentially save yourself thousands (or millions) of dollars. That sounds like a good deal to me!
