Get some answers to frequently asked questions:

  • What should I consider when choosing a real estate attorney?

    The most important consideration is working with an attorney you can trust to protect your interests throughout the process. A good real estate attorney will communicate with the attorney on the other side of the transaction professionally, keep in contact with the agents representing both parties, and be acutely aware of any deadlines that exist in the contract. 

  • How can I prepare for buying a home in Massachusetts?

    It's crucial to get pre-approved for a mortgage, understand your financial situation, determine how much you can afford to spend, and engage a skilled attorney to guide you through the legal complexities of your transaction.


  • What are some common issues found in title examinations?

    Issues might include undisclosed liens that remain undischarged, boundary disputes, inaccurate surveys, and errors in past ownership records; we address these issues proactively.

  • Why is zoning and land use advice important?

    Many municipal departments and boards oversee the building and development process. Understanding zoning bylaws and land use regulations ensures that any property development, construction, or renovation is performed in compliance with state and local regulations and bylaws to the satisfaction of those who regulate the process.
