We understand that for many of our clients, purchasing real estate for their first permanent location or for their expanding operations is as exciting as it is costly, time-consuming and stressful. Our firm has the necessary legal expertise in Texas real estate law to assist young startups and established businesses with their real property acquisition needs in Houston and beyond. If you’re seeking a real estate lawyer in Houston who understands both high-value transactions and everyday commercial leases, we’re here to help. We are also well versed in the pitfalls specific to Texas real estate, such as a lack of zoning, unexpected deed restrictions, and historic environmental liabilities, to name just a few.
When caught in a timely manner, these issues are most often addressed between the parties to the transaction through a price adjustment and negotiated with the lender prior to closing. However, when such issues go unnoticed, they can become costly headaches for the new business owner.
