In California, a real estate attorney is not always required, but having one can help interpret complex contracts and ensure disclosures are complete. If your deal involves unusual terms, lending complications, or title concerns, professional guidance is advisable.
A contract review typically includes verifying the purchase price, inspection contingencies, loan details, deadlines, and required disclosures. We also check for ambiguities, addenda, and risk allocations to protect your interests.

Typical closing costs include title insurance, recording fees, escrow charges, and lender-related fees. We review estimates and help you plan for these costs in advance.
If a contingency is not met, the contract may terminate or be renegotiated, depending on the terms. Your attorney can explain options and help you decide the best course.
In California, backing out may involve penalties if a contingency or financing term is not met, so consult an attorney. We review your contract to determine your rights and next steps.
Disclosures inform buyers about known defects or conditions that affect value and safety. Proper handling protects you from later claims and helps ensure a smooth transfer of title.
The party about to purchase or refinance typically selects the title company, though negotiations can divide responsibilities. We coordinate with the chosen title company to align on clearance and escrow tasks.
Bring identification, proof of income, loan pre-approval, and any existing contracts or disclosures. Having documents ready helps us assess your situation quickly.
