Bellevue Residential and Commercial Real Estate Lawyer
If you are buying or selling a house, you don't always need a real estate lawyer. In some situations, however, the wise seller or purchaser of residential or commercial real estate will consult an experienced real estate attorney to write or at least review the purchase contract. If you are involved in a short sale of residential or commercial real estate − where you are buying property currently worth less than the loan against it − or if you are purchasing property with existing tenants, it makes good financial sense to consult a real estate attorney before finalizing the deal.
Attorney Joseph L. Hammer has more than 10 years of experience writing and reviewing sales contracts for residential and commercial real estate. He also writes and reviews commercial and residential lease agreements and advises property ownersin landlord-tenant disputes.

For simple residential real estate sales, the real estate agency can often provide a serviceable purchase agreement. However, the agency may not have the legal and technical knowledge to make sure that the sales contract covers all contingencies when the sale is more complex. Attorney Hammer can review an existing sales contract or draft a sales contract and make sure you have answers to all your questions surrounding the sale or purchase, including:
- Do I need earnest money? How much?
- What happens if one party doesn't comply with the agreement?
- Can I get out of this agreement? How?
- What happens if there is damage to the property before the closing?
- Do I need title insurance?
For commercial real estate buy-sell agreements, Mr. Hammer advises clients on the feasibility of particular purchases and writes purchase contracts.
In addition to drafting buy-sell agreements, the assistance he provides purchasers of commercial real estate includes, but is not limited to, reviewing rent rolls, checking existing leases, and reviewing landlord-tenant issues.
