Let me tell you why real estate law is unique and how Evans & Mullinix real estate attorneys have been providing clients outstanding legal representation for years. Real estate transactions require a wider range of knowledge than most other areas and should not be left to attorneys that don’t specialize in that field. It requires Evans & Mullinix expert attorneys not only to have a thorough understanding of the legal issues, but maybe even more importantly, collateral matters that could impact the transaction.
Our attorneys handle loan negotiations, appear before city councils or zoning boards, prepare and review a lease or sales contract and even advise on how the IRS code will affect the transaction. Experience in thousands of cases over the years provides them a knowledge of how to get a matter the best possible result, no matter what legal or other issue is involved.
Whether you are buying, selling, developing or leasing a property why would you not have someone by your side with the knowledge and experience to protect you? Everyone has heard the phrase “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. By taking minimal legal steps to avoid problems at the beginning of a transaction you can save a lot of headaches and expense later.
As an example, Evans & Mullinix attorneys have saved their clients from provisions in leases that have serious unforeseen consequences. What seems like a simple lease term obligating you to maintain the HVAC system can be a financial nightmare. Nothing complicated about a common-sense requirement to keep your air conditioning maintained, right? But what if you have 6 months left on your lease and the entire $30,000 system needs replacing. Who pays? You or the landlord? If you aren’t looking for these landmines, you can’t protect against them.
Two years ago we would never have considered something like a pandemic could happen totally upending our world! What is the lease requirement to pay rent if this happens again? Does your rent continue or is it deferred or maybe even abated? Isn’t it important for your attorney to catch this point and help you navigate the issue?
Call Evans & Mullinix today to set an appointment to discuss any real estate matter. It will be immediately obvious why attorneys from other offices consider them to be among the best in their field.
