About Me
Buying real estate is not rocket science.
But you have to know how the process works, to identify red flags you may encounter
along the way and how to manage undesired difficulties that may appear.
If you are risk averse, or just want to be sure about what you are doing or simply want
to be fast and effective with your time, then you may want to consider hiring somebody
like me.
I’m a senior lawyer specialized in real estate transactions. After more than 25 years of
experience I offer a reliable service, where trust and speed are key to achieving your
goals.
Services
Experience You Can Trust
My added value is in the last mile: you have a lot of information available on the web,
you have exchanged experiences with fellow buyers, you have studied the market, and
you have already chosen a property that meets your needs.
But still there are lots of questions that you face once you execute the purchase: how
do I know that the seller is the real owner? How am I sure that there are no hidden
debts? And what to do if the property I want to buy is seized? Which is the role of the
property agent? Who pays him? Does the seller’s calendar match mine? What to do if
our calendars do not match?
These are some of the questions that you may face once you are executing the
process, and here is where my counsel will make the difference between a gamble and
making an informed decision.
I provide comprehensive support throughout the entire property purchase process—from the moment you choose to the moment you close. I’ll be by your side to help ensure that you make the best decision for your interests.
Due Diligence and Compliance
Understanding what you are purchasing is essential to setting the right price. I conduct thorough due diligence, examining the seller's legitimacy, outstanding debts, property title, urban planning status, and the community of owners' situation.
Additionally, I ensure compliance with the various regulations (local, regional, and national) governing property sales.
Negotiation
Having accurate information is just one aspect of success; knowing how to use it is key. I assist you throughout the negotiation process, addressing any issues that could jeopardize your transaction. With my experience, I know when to push, when to compromise, and—if necessary—when to walk away.
Professional Network
While legal expertise is crucial, other services may also be needed. Whether you require an architect, mortgage broker, immigration lawyer, or international tax specialist, I can connect you with the right professionals to support your decision-making process.
