Real Estate Attorney | Closings, Contracts, Disputes |

Buying or selling property? Arthur Simpson provides real estate legal support for contracts, closings, title issues, and disputes—protecting your money and timeline.

A property transaction is a legal transaction. We help buyers, sellers, and investors reduce risk, avoid surprises, and close with confidence.

• Purchase & sale agreement review and drafting
• Residential and commercial closings
• Title review and issue resolution
• Deed preparation and corrective instruments
• For Sale By Owner (FSBO) legal support
• Landlord/tenant disputes (as applicable)
• Real estate dispute resolution and litigation support

Most real estate problems don’t show up until it’s too late: ambiguous contract language, inspection disputes, title defects, appraisal gaps, financing deadlines, and repair credits.

1. Contract Review – Identify risk points, deadlines, and leverage.
2. Title & Due Diligence – Confirm ownership, liens, easements, and defects.
3. Negotiation – Repairs, credits, extensions, releases, and addenda.
4. Closing Execution – Document preparation, signing, recording, and post-close follow-through.

• Missed deadlines that trigger loss of deposit
• Hidden liens or title defects
• Repairs/credits disagreements that derail closing
• Unfavorable “as-is” and disclosure issues
• Poorly drafted special stipulations

Do I need a real estate attorney if I have a realtor?
A realtor supports the transaction; an attorney protects legal rights and contract risk.

Can you review my contract before I sign?
Yes—this is often the best time to reduce risk and improve terms.

What if the other side won’t perform?
We assess remedies, notices, timelines, and whether litigation or settlement is the best path.
