Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a commercial property, or dealing with a difficult tenant, real estate transactions can be complex. In a bustling market like Chicagoland, having the right legal support isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity. At Chicagoland Property Law, we understand the local market and the unique challenges it presents. We’re here to provide the professional legal services you need to ensure a smooth, secure, and successful real estate journey.
The Core of Our Real Estate Transaction Services
The process of buying or selling property involves numerous steps, from contract negotiation to closing. Our goal is to handle the legal heavy lifting so you can focus on the bigger picture. We offer comprehensive support for all types of transactions, including residential, commercial, and investment properties.
Our services for transactions include:
- Contract Review and Negotiation: We carefully review all purchase agreements, making sure the terms are fair and your interests are protected. We can also negotiate on your behalf to secure the best possible outcome.
- Title and Deed Examination: We work with title companies to ensure the property’s title is clean and clear of any liens, encumbrances, or other issues that could threaten your ownership.
- Closing Assistance: The closing can be a whirlwind of paperwork. We guide you through the process, prepare and review all legal documents, and are there to answer any questions you have right up to the final signature.
Expert Guidance for Landlords and Tenants
The Chicagoland rental market is dynamic, and both landlords and tenants face a specific set of laws and regulations, particularly with the Chicago Residential Landlord and Tenant Ordinance (CRLTO) and the Cook County Residential Landlord and Tenant Ordinance (CCRLTO). We help clients navigate these laws to avoid disputes and protect their rights.
Our landlord-tenant services include:
- Lease Drafting and Review: We create or review lease agreements to ensure they are legally sound and protect your interests, whether you are a property owner or a renter.
- Eviction and Dispute Resolution: We can assist landlords with the eviction process and represent both landlords and tenants in disputes over security deposits, lease terms, or property conditions.
Resolving Complex Property Disputes
From a simple boundary line disagreement to a complex co-ownership dispute, property issues can be frustrating and costly. Our litigation experience allows us to provide skilled representation in court or through negotiation to resolve these conflicts effectively. We can assist with matters involving:
- Boundary and Easement Disputes: We help resolve disagreements between neighbors over property lines or rights of access.
- Property Tax Appeals: With our deep knowledge of the local market, we can help you assess your property’s value and file a formal appeal to the Board of Review to potentially lower your tax burden.
