Guidance For Successful Commercial Real Estate Transactions

Purchasing or selling a piece of commercial real estate is a business transaction. In addition to the buyer and the seller, there is usually a lender involved. Disclosures, covenants and representations are made between the parties as well as to the lender.

Not only must the buyer be satisfied that this is the best property at a reasonable price and that the property is properly zoned and suitable for the buyer’s intended use, he or she must also be able to satisfy the lender that the property is free from encumbrances and defects and that the value of the property will support the loan that it is securing.

Preventing Future Problems With Knowledgeable Representation

With the increasing importance of environmental issues and mineral rights in Louisiana, as well as the high cost of lawsuits, it is important that all parties have legal representation. Any time you are signing documents relating to a real estate transaction, whether it is a deed, mortgage, loan agreement, promissory note or purchase agreement, it is best to have an attorney advise you.
