Residential Real Estate Services

Protecting Your Residential Real Estate Investment

Whether you are trying to sell a home on your own, are looking to buy or are working with a realtor or real estate agency for either purpose, nothing you can do will provide more protection for your rights, interests and investment than hiring your own attorney.

At the law offices of Chrystel L. Gavlin, P.C., we provide affordable, high quality legal services for buyers and sellers of residential real estate in Will County. Attorney Gavlin is also a registered title agent for several companies offering title insurance in this area. Some of the specific ways we can help you include:

  • Negotiating, drafting, reviewing and modifying residential real estate purchase and sale agreements
  • Handling inspections and inspection contingency issues
  • Reviewing inspection reports
  • Working with your mortgage broker to resolve any financing issues
  • Making sure the deed is proper and clear of any liens or encumbrances
  • Ordering title insurance
  • Procuring appropriate transfer stamps
  • Attending the closing and preparing all necessary documents

Who's looking out for your best interests? Even if you have signed a representation agreement with a realtor, the complex legal considerations involved with even a routine residential real estate transaction make the cost of hiring a lawyer negligible at best. To learn more about our services — call or contact us in Joliet, Illinois, today.

The Advantage of Having an Attorney at the Closing

Residential real estate closings are tedious, time-consuming ordeals for most people. Form after form, signature after signature. At times it seems as if every required form and signature in the entire universe is sitting right in front of you, waiting.

The formality, the routine and the number of parties sitting at the table gives many people the sense that their interests are somehow being protected in all this. In many cases that isn't true. We can explain the closing process, prepare you for it and be there with you to review the forms, tell you what they mean and make certain that all is as it should be — all for a reasonable cost.
