An Advocate for Buyers and Sellers

It's important to have a real estate lawyer represent your interests in any real estate transaction because some brokers and agents will gloss over difficult issues. Our attorneys are aware of the common pitfalls during contract negotiation and closings, and we can help you avoid potentially costly and lengthy delays.

For example, when selling a house, a real estate agent may present you a contract with the closing contingent on the buyer selling his or her own home. However, before you sign such a contract, you should insist on a time limit. Often, a seller signs such a contract without realizing that the property could be tied up for several years before the buyer is able to sell his or her property.

New Jersey Three-Day Review

Whenever a real estate purchase contract is handled by a realtor in New Jersey, the buyer and seller have three days to consult a lawyer before the contract is legally binding. After reviewing the contract, a lawyer can enforce your right of rescission, which is a legal remedy that wipes out the existing contract and restores the parties to the situation they were in prior to entering into the contract. A lawyer can also help you renegotiate the contract.

If you have signed a real estate contract in New Jersey, you should see an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
