Northeast Philadelphia Real Estate Attorney
In any real estate transaction, there are a number of legal and financial issues to consider in order to avoid exposure to unwanted liability. At the law office of Howard M. Hyman, our real estate attorney reviews contract terms and conditions, purchase agreements, condominium covenants, and other documents related to real estate transactions.
In order to protect clients from inheriting problems with septic or oil tanks, lead paint, asbestos, or sewage problems, we insist that all pre-existing conditions be verified and documented. Our office also conducts title searches and takes steps to see if any liens have been placed against a piece of property. We also have the resources needed to assist real estate brokers, developers, and investors in commercial real estate deals involving land use, environmental impact studies, and construction.

Why Shouldn't I just hire a Real Estate Agent — Do I need a Lawyer?
Real estate agents are paid a commission on real estate transactions and therefore have a self-interested, financial incentive to see your home purchase or sale finalized. While a real estate agent may initially serve as a protector and advocate of your interests — when it comes time to finalize an offer, he or she may be more inclined to compromise on certain issues in order to avoid jeopardizing a deal.
As your legal representative, our attorney is only interested in protecting your legal and financial interests. If we identify terms and conditions that create unnecessary and unwanted liability, we tell you about them so you can protect yourself. If we believe you are better off reserving your right to litigate post-sale problems with your home, we explain why and encourage you to reject an arbitration clause. If we believe agreeing to repair environmental hazards discovered after the sale of your home exposes you to unwanted liability, we tell you up front.
