FAQs

  • 1. What issues commonly arise during real estate closings?

    Common problems include title defects, liens on the property, unclear boundary lines, undisclosed easements, or financing delays. These issues can derail or significantly delay a closing if not addressed quickly.


    By reviewing title reports and contract provisions early, we help resolve problems before they escalate, keeping your transaction on track and protecting your investment.

  • 2. What is escrow, and why is it important?

    Escrow is a neutral third-party process where funds and documents are held until all conditions of the real estate transaction are met. For example, the buyer deposits funds, and the seller deposits a signed deed. The escrow officer releases them only when all contract terms — such as financing, inspections, and title clearance — are satisfied.


    We ensure that escrow instructions align with the purchase contract and protect your rights in case of disputes.

  • 3. How can I protect myself from liability when selling property?

    Sellers are required to disclose known defects that materially affect the property’s value. Failure to disclose can result in lawsuits long after the sale. Common disclosure issues include water damage, foundation problems, and zoning violations.


    We help sellers prepare thorough disclosures that comply with Nevada and California law while avoiding unnecessary over-disclosure that might discourage buyers.

  • 4. What if disputes arise after closing?

    Post-closing disputes may involve undisclosed defects, misrepresentation, or breaches of contract. In such cases, buyers may seek damages, rescission of the contract, or other remedies.


    Our firm represents both buyers and sellers in resolving post-closing disputes, whether through negotiation, mediation, or litigation. Addressing issues quickly can often prevent long and costly lawsuits.
