Real Estate

Buying, renting, or selling real estate, whether it is your family home or your business worksite, can be a straightforward process if buyers, sellers, title company, realtors, and legal counsel are all attentive, cooperative, and well-informed. But it takes an experienced team to navigate through the surprises, disappointments, ambiguities, and delays that all too frequently crop up in the process.

Our real estate lawyers and staff go the extra mile to reduce or eliminate the chances of delay and misunderstanding. They know our clients who are buying, leasing, or selling real property in Illinois, Wisconsin, or elsewhere are interested in getting the deal done, not creating paperwork or quibbling over irrelevancies.

Although commercial property sales often pose issues not normally associated with residential real estate transactions, the focus for our professional real estate law team is the same: identify all issues as early as possible, coordinate with all the interested parties to get every issue resolved expeditiously, and move the transaction to closing in a timely fashion.

In addition to sales, leases, and short-term rental arrangements, our real estate team works with our litigation team as needed to address challenges involving homeowner associations (“HOAs”), evictions, liens, special financing arrangements, and government regulatory issues such as permit and zoning matters.
