Ensuring Compliance

Commercial real estate transactions that involve a government entity, whether as buyer or seller, are subject to specific rules. Compliance with these guidelines is essential to ensuring a smooth transaction. The two most significant regulations stipulate that:

• The value of the property cannot be less than the fair market value
• The intended purchase or sale of real estate must be published

Handling Your Real Estate Transaction from Start to Finish

Once the decision of a government entity to buy or sell property has been made our firm coordinates all of the necessary steps needed to complete the transaction. We will organize the survey and appraisal, conduct environmental studies and review option agreements.

Our firm also addresses matters related to eminent domain. This includes helping to resolve disputes over the fair market value of a piece of property the government wishes to purchase. The district court selects eminent domain commissioners to serve on a tribunal to decide the value of the property.
