OUR APPROACH TO REAL ESTATE LAW
In all matters related to real estate, the stakes are always high. The costs can be, too. At KLEIN.LAW, we are always mindful of these things as we represent you with integrity and strategy.
We combine legal know-how with years of first-hand experience to ensure you, as our valued client, achieve success in your real estate endeavors. We go beyond what’s expected to deliver results.
WHY HIRE US VERSUS A CALIFORNIA REAL ESTATE AGENT
In California unlike other states, you are not required to use both a real estate attorney and a real estate agent for the sale or purchase of real property. Real estate agents can perform both marketing and transactional work. The difference is this: advice.
A real estate agent cannot provide legal counsel to a client. When legal questions arise, and they often do, an agent cannot advise you on the matter. As a result, if you hire a real estate agent first, you will then have to hire a real estate lawyer. There may be questions on easements, taxes, and newly enacted laws. A real estate agent or broker cannot answer these questions unless they are also an attorney.
There are more reasons to hire a real estate lawyer over an agent, and why to hire us specifically. First, we have no personal interest in what happens with a real estate transaction––we only care about what happens for our client. Real estate agents have an interest in commission, and that can taint their representation of your interests. Second, given our specialized knowledge of real estate and our extensive experience, we know exactly what to look for, what to expect, and how to handle all sorts of situations that may arise.
