Because the Earnest/Tighe Law Firm is a full-service firm, should a real estate client have a situation arise where they need representation in a litigation matter, we can represent them in that litigation. Should the formation of business entities or the drafting of operating agreements be required, we are able to handle that for our clients as we handle their real estate matters. We are experienced at negotiating and closing SHORT SALES. Short sales are more complex than ordinary real estate transactions, making it important to retain a real estate attorney to guide you through the process. We are happy to coordinate short sale transactions from contract to closing for sellers or buyers. We are also able to assist in foreclosure defense if a foreclosure action has been intiated by the lender against a property owner. We assist buyers as well as sellers in navigating the short sale process. If you are a buyer of a short sale property and the bank is choosing the title company, you may wish to seek legal representation so that your rights are protected, not just the seller's. Banks approving a short sale may seek to obtain a deficiency judgement against the seller. We can assist a seller in negotiating with the bank to write off the remaining loan amount.Land Use/DevelopmentThe Earnest/Tighe Law Firm represents developers in the development of single family, new construction condominium/townhome projects, condominium conversions, mixed use, commercial, and retail projects.
