Residential Real Estate Closings

Lohse Law can assist you with the sale or purchase of:  Single family houses, condominiums, townhouses, 2-flats, 3-flats, 4-flats, 6-flats, and parking spaces in the Chicagoland area (or seven (7) counties around Chicago). 

Real estate closings can be pretty complicated with many steps to get to a successful closing and no two transactions are exactly alike.  The average real estate closing usually takes  10 to 15 hours of legal work from "contract to closing."  Therefore, it is advisable to hire an attorney to guide you through the process making sure everything is handled correctly and "title" properly conveyed. 

Real Estate Attorney Brian Lohse will represent you from the time the offer is presented until the keys are handed over at the closing table.  If you are either contemplating making an offer to purchase a property, or to accept an offer for the property you are selling, call closing attorney Brian Lohse first to discuss the important points that should be addressed in the contract. 

Lohse Law only handles 15-20 real estate transactions at any given time.  Unlike many other attorneys that employ assistants and secretaries to handle everything except the "closing," real estate closing attorney Brian Lohse handles the entire transaction from beginning to end.  With such a small caseload, attorney Lohse is able to work directly with you for your closing. Whether you are working with a real estate agent or the property is a "For Sale By Owner," he will guide you through the entire closing process.  He will help protect your interests and will explain how particular issues can affect you both legally and financially.  You have a lot of money at stake for your transaction, don't you want a lawyer personally working for you?  

Compared to what you are paying for the new property or what you will be receiving for the sale, an attorney's price is relatively small.  In fact, real estate attorney fees have been about the same since the late 70s or early 80s!
