Understanding Real Estate Transactions

Real estate transactions involve many moving parts, from initial negotiations to final closing. Our real estate attorneys help clients understand every step of the process. Whether you’re buying your first home or handling commercial real estate deals, having legal representation protects your financial interests throughout the transaction.

Boise real estate transactions require knowledge of local regulations and land use requirements. Our attorneys review sale agreements, conduct title searches, and identify potential title issues before they become problems. We work to ensure every transaction is legally sound and protects your investment.

Title searches reveal important information about the property’s history. Our team examines public records to find any title defects, liens, or encumbrances that could affect your ownership. Addressing title issues early prevents costly problems later and gives you peace of mind about your purchase.

Residential and Commercial Real Estate Services

Our law firm handles both residential and commercial real estate matters with equal attention to detail. Real estate lawyers on our team understand that each type of transaction has unique requirements and challenges. We provide legal services tailored to your specific situation, whether you’re a homeowner or business owner.

Residential real estate transactions often involve first-time buyers who need clear explanations of contracts and closing procedures. Our attorneys take time to explain each document and answer questions. We review purchase agreements, inspect title searches, and make sure you understand what you’re signing before closing day.

Commercial real estate deals typically involve larger sums and more complex transactions. Our legal team has extensive experience with commercial real estate purchases, sales, and leases. We handle everything from small retail spaces to large industrial properties, always protecting our clients’ interests.

Construction and Development Matters

Construction law covers a wide range of issues affecting builders, developers, and property owners. Our attorneys help clients with construction contracts, construction defects, and construction litigation when disputes arise. We understand the construction industry and the legal issues that commonly occur during projects.

Construction defects can appear during or after a project is completed. These may include structural problems, water intrusion, or faulty materials. Our team investigates construction defects, determines responsibility, and pursues compensation for affected property owners. We work with engineers and experts to build strong cases.

Construction litigation becomes necessary when disputes cannot be resolved through negotiation. Our attorneys represent clients in court, handling claims related to construction defects, contractor disputes, and project delays. We aim to resolve disputes efficiently while protecting your property rights and business interests.

Landlord and Tenant Legal Support

Landlord-tenant relationships can be complicated, requiring clear agreements and proper procedures. Our real estate attorneys draft lease agreements, handle lease negotiations, and represent clients in disputes. We serve both landlords and tenants, providing legal support for all types of rental situations.

Reviewing lease agreements before signing prevents misunderstandings later. Our attorneys examine lease terms, identify potential problems, and explain your rights and responsibilities. Whether you’re a landlord renting out property or a tenant signing a commercial lease, we make sure the agreement protects your interests.

Landlord-tenant disputes may involve unpaid rent, property damage, or lease violations. Our team works to resolve disputes quickly and fairly. We handle eviction proceedings, security deposit disputes, and lease termination matters. When possible, we seek solutions that avoid costly litigation and maintain business relationships.

Property Boundary and Easement Issues

Boundary disputes occur when property lines are unclear or contested. Our real estate lawyers help clients resolve these conflicts through surveys, title research, and negotiation. We work with surveyors to establish accurate property boundaries and protect your land rights.

Easement disputes involve the right to use someone else’s property for a specific purpose. Common examples include access roads, utility lines, and shared driveways. Our attorneys handle easement disputes by reviewing property records, examining historical use, and negotiating fair solutions between property owners.

Restrictive covenants limit how you can use your property. These might restrict building height, property use, or exterior modifications. Our team reviews restrictive covenants before you purchase property and helps you understand how they affect your plans. If disputes arise, we provide legal representation to protect your property rights.

Land Use and Zoning Guidance

Zoning regulations control how land can be used in different areas. Our attorneys help clients understand local zoning rules and obtain necessary approvals for their projects. We assist with zoning applications, variance requests, and appeals when applications are denied.

Zoning law affects what you can build and how you can use your property. Our legal team has deep knowledge of Idaho’s zoning requirements and helps clients work through the approval process. We prepare applications, attend hearings, and advocate for your interests before planning commissions and local governments.

Land use planning requires understanding both current regulations and future community goals. Our real estate attorneys advise developers on land use matters, helping them design projects that comply with local requirements. We work to secure zoning approvals and permits needed to move forward with development plans.

Business Real Estate Needs

Business law and real estate law often intersect when companies buy, sell, or lease property. Our law firm provides comprehensive legal services for business clients with real estate needs. We handle purchase agreements, lease negotiations, and business matters related to property ownership.

Commercial tenants face unique challenges when leasing space for their operations. Our attorneys represent commercial tenants in lease negotiations, making sure terms are fair and favorable. We review renewal options, rent escalation clauses, and maintenance responsibilities to protect your business interests.

Business owners need real estate solutions that support their goals and growth plans. Our legal team provides strategic guidance on property acquisitions, helping you find locations that work for your operations. We review contracts, conduct due diligence, and handle closing procedures for business real estate transactions.

Common Real Estate Questions

What should I look for in a real estate contract?

Real estate contracts should clearly state the purchase price, closing date, and any contingencies. Look for terms about financing, inspections, and what happens if the sale falls through. Review who pays for closing costs and which appliances or fixtures stay with the property.

How long does a typical real estate closing take?

Most real estate closings take 30 to 45 days from the time an offer is accepted. This timeline allows for inspections, appraisals, title searches, and loan approval. Some transactions close faster while others take longer, depending on financing and other factors.

What is title insurance, and do I need it?

Title insurance protects you if problems with the property’s title appear after you buy. It covers issues like previous owners’ unpaid debts, mistakes in public records, or unknown heirs claiming ownership. Most lenders require it, and it’s a good idea for property owners too.

Foley Freeman was amazing to work with! We have never needed legal counseling before and contacted them with time-sensitive needs. They were very kind, eager, and thoroughly explained everything to us. We were not pressured to make decisions or made to feel that our “small” legal issue was a waste of their time. Highly recommend their services to anyone with any legal needs.
