Residential and Commercial Closings with No Loose Ends
Our real estate attorney organizes every phase of the deal. We review purchase agreements, negotiates contingencies, tracks deadlines, and coordinates lenders, agents, and title professionals. Duane Galloway & Associates explains inspection findings and prepares closing documents with precision. You sign with confidence because we confirm payoffs, prorations, and post-closing obligations before you reach the table.
Title Searches, Insurance, and Curative Actions
Clear title protects your investment. Duane Galloway & Associates runs targeted searches, analyze prior deeds and liens, and identify breaks in the chain. When issues emerge, we draft corrective deeds, secure releases, and pursue quiet title actions when needed. We also advise on owner’s and lender’s title insurance so you understand coverage, exclusions, and claim procedures.
Boundary Lines, Easements, and Neighbor Disputes
Property lines and access rights often trigger costly fights. We read surveys, legal descriptions, and historical plats to pinpoint the true boundary. We negotiate easements for utilities, driveways, and shared access, and pursue or defend claims involving encroachments and adverse possession. When settlement makes sense, we structure practical agreements that keep peace and protect value.
Leases, Landlord-Tenant Issues, and Property Management Support
Strong leases prevent headaches. We draft residential and commercial leases that address build-outs, maintenance, default remedies, CAM charges, renewal options, and personal guarantees. We counsel landlords on notices, security deposits, and habitability standards, and we handle evictions with proper filings and courtroom preparation. We also help tenants evaluate risk, negotiate fair terms, and document repairs and rent abatements.
Development, Land Contracts, and Investor Strategies
Investors and builders need aligned documents and timelines. We structure letters of intent, development agreements, and construction contracts that manage scope, draws, and change orders. We prepare land contracts and installment sale agreements with clear milestones and default terms. For 1031 exchanges, we coordinate with qualified intermediaries and draft purchase documents that track identification and closing deadlines.
