BUSINESS AND REAL PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS

Purchase and Sale of Real Estate

Here at AHK, our attorneys have been providing advice and counsel to brokers, purchasers and sellers since the launch of the firm in 1977.  Several of our attorneys are or have been licensed real estate salespersons and brokers.  Our firm has up to date knowledge about the various state and federal statutory and regulatory requirements affecting the purchase, sale or exchange of real property.  Our familiarity with this area of the law is invaluable when we enforce our clients’ rights in court.

Loan Workout Agreements

Secured lenders are frequently presented with proposals to negotiate resolutions to problem loans.  Efforts in this area are subject to numerous statutory and regulatory requirements, including usury laws, truth in lending laws, guarantor statutes, security priority requirements, and others.  We provide our clients with knowledgeable and informed counsel and documentation in these transactions. 

Deeds in Lieu of Foreclosure

Occasionally, a borrower will decide to deed the borrower’s property over to the lender rather than have a foreclosure proceed to trustee’s sale.  Our firm represents trustees and loan servicers in all aspects of such transactions, including the deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, estoppel affidavits, and requests for reconveyance.

Landlord/Tenant; Leases

Throughout the years, our attorneys have had extensive experience in drafting, negotiating, and enforcing leases on behalf of property owners.

Other Business and Real Estate Transaction areas include Real Estate Finance, Loan Servicing, and Foreclosure Trustees.
