Real Estate

Buying or selling a home can be a stressful time and obtaining legal representation can help reduce the stress by knowing that you have someone looking out for your best interests. Your rights and obligations are often determined by the contracts you sign. Therefore, it is important that you contact Mr. Harbison prior to signing any contract, including the agreement you sign to hire a Realtor. Mr. Harbison often get calls from individuals who no longer would like their Realtor to represent them and they would like to hire a new Realtor. However, often the agreement with the original Realtor states that the original Realtor gets a commission even if the property is sold after the original Realtor is discharged. Therefore, it is important to have the document reviewed before you sign it. It is equally important to have the Agreement of Sale reviewed before you sign it. Mr. Harbison can provide legal services from reviewing documents through representation at the closing.

Whichever side you’re on, whether in a residential or commercial setting, you can be sure that we’ll work to quickly resolve your dispute, and fight for you to achieve the best possible result while settling cases outside of court whenever possible.
