Real Estate Law

The law, as it relates to the buying and selling of real estate today, goes far, far beyond the contracts of sale, surveys, title searches, and closings of years past. And that is why the years of experience, the constant educational process, and the wealth of knowledge accumulated by the real estate specialists at Porges, Hamlin, Knowles & DePaola, P.A. are an invaluable asset to any client involved in this industry today. Just the buzz words alone are indicative of the complexities inherent in buying and selling real estate in this day and age: deed restrictions, title issues, environmental warranties, endangered species, construction contracting, site development, hazardous waste, governmental interaction, horizontal work…the list goes on and on.
