Our Attorneys Know Real Estate and Construction Law
At Hemmer Wessels McMurtry PLLC, we have represented all members of the construction industry, including property owners, developers, builders and contractors on public and private projects for over 32 years. We are intimately familiar with the issues facing the modern construction professional and frequently service the industry by drafting and negotiating contracts, preparing and enforcing mechanic’s liens, preparing and enforcing bond claims, and litigating contract disputes.
Buying or selling real estate doesn’t have to be complex
Because so much is at stake in a real estate transaction, you need an attorney who has the experience and attention to detail to complete the deal without hitches and delays. The real estate law team at Hemmer Wessels McMurtry PLLC clears up potential complications long before you sit down at the closing.
Common obstacles we look out for include:
Outstanding tax liens — All tax liens should be satisfied before the closing, regardless of whether it’s a cash or mortgage transaction.
Other encumbrances — Contractors, roofers and other businesses often file mechanic’s liens against a property to ensure payment for their services. The parties sometimes forget to remove the lien when the job is finished and paid for.
Survey discrepancies — The exact boundaries of the property must be firmly established before the deal is closed. We resolve any discrepancies in the survey documents.
Unknown heirs — When you are buying a property after the death of the owner, it is crucial to make sure that the seller has a 100 percent ownership interest in the property. The sudden appearance of an unknown heir who claims an ownership interest can cost you time and money.
