Buying and selling a home

For most people, buying or selling a home is likely to be the largest and most important legal transaction they will ever undertake.  The most important thing you can do is to hire a qualified attorney who understands the process to protect your legal rights.  Consider some of the requirements under California law:

• Disclosure by the seller
  • Items on the property
  • Operating condition of specific items
  • Defects
  • Environmental hazards, easements, or other violations
• Establishment and signing of a legally binding purchase agreement
• Title search
• Obtaining a mortgage
• Obtaining Private Mortgage Insurance if the buyer’s down payment is less than 20 percent

The attorneys at the Law Office of Alec Harshey can help you throughout the process to make sure your purchase or sale of the home is successful.

Construction

The details of any construction project can be daunting to the uninitiated.  You may start with a contract that seems fair and reasonable, but changing conditions and unexpected occurrences at the site add unexpected time and expense to the work.
