Avoiding Common Problems in Residential Real Estate Closings
Who Should Attend
This program is suitable for all lawyers who represent parties in residential real estate transactions.
About the Program
While many residential real estate closings go as planned, there are some problems that can delay or even thwart a closing.
From last-minute financing troubles to disagreements about the fine print, these deal-busters present significant risks for buyers and sellers, and for their lawyers.
Can you recognize them before they spell trouble for you? Do you have the knowledge and skills you need to safely save or terminate a transaction that falls apart?
