Real Estate Syndication
Real Estate Syndication Attorneys
We help real estate buyers, sellers, investors, and syndicators close smooth, compliant, and high-stakes transactions. From term sheet to title, our real estate syndication attorneys manage every legal detail with speed, precision, and practical expertise—so you can focus on the deal, not the paperwork.
Purchase and Sale Agreements
At the core of every real estate syndication deal, we draft and negotiate airtight contracts that define the terms, safeguard your interests, and guide you to the closing table with confidence.
Title and Survey
Our real estate syndication attorneys handle thorough due diligence—spotting red flags, resolving title issues, and confirming survey accuracy—so there are no surprises after you close.
Loan Negotiation
In real estate syndication, we review and negotiate loan documents to protect your interests and ensure financing supports your strategy—not just the lender’s terms. From agency to bridge to private capital, our guidance helps you secure favorable terms and avoid hidden risks.
Closing Services
Our real estate syndication attorneys oversee the entire closing process—from escrow to final signatures—ensuring smooth coordination with brokers, lenders, and title companies so your deal closes correctly and on time.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does a real estate attorney do in a commercial closing?
We review and negotiate your purchase and sale agreement, loan documents, title, survey, and all closing documents. Our job is to spot red flags, protect your interests, and ensure your deal gets across the finish line smoothly and legally sound.
2. Why do I need an attorney if I already have a broker and title company?
Brokers negotiate the deal. Title handles paperwork. But only your attorney is there to protect you legally. We catch the things others miss, legal language, hidden liabilities, zoning issues, and lender traps, before they become expensive mistakes.
3. What’s involved in reviewing loan documents?
We review everything from interest rate terms to carveouts, prepayment penalties, personal guarantees, and covenants. Lenders draft docs to protect themselves, we level the playing field so you know exactly what you’re signing.
4. What’s the purpose of a purchase and sale agreement (PSA)?
The PSA outlines the deal terms, timelines, contingencies, and responsibilities of both parties. We make sure it’s fair, clear, and enforceable, and we negotiate terms that align with your business objectives and risk tolerance.
5. Do I need to worry about zoning or land use?
Absolutely. Before you buy, you need to verify the property is zoned for your intended use, whether it’s multifamily, retail, industrial, or development. We’ll coordinate with your zoning consultants and flag any issues that could derail your project post-close.
6. What is title review, and why is it important?
We examine the title report for liens, encumbrances, easements, or other defects that could impact your rights. If something’s off, we work with the title company to resolve it before closing, or renegotiate the deal if needed.
7. What’s the difference between a survey and an ALTA survey?
A standard survey gives basic boundary info. An ALTA survey is more comprehensive, it shows easements, encroachments, zoning, setbacks, and other critical items. Lenders often require it, and we review it to confirm there are no hidden surprises.
8. What happens if issues come up before closing?
That’s exactly why you hire us. We negotiate extensions, resolve title or loan issues, and keep the deal alive while protecting your legal and financial interests. Our job is to solve problems fast, and get you to a clean close.
9. Do I need legal support on a 1031 Exchange?
Yes, we work with your qualified intermediary to ensure the exchange is structured properly and meets IRS requirements. We help you line up timelines, replacement properties, and contract terms to keep your tax deferral on track.
10. How does RaiseLaw support commercial closings?
We’re deal closers — not deal blockers. We handle everything legal on your transaction so you can stay focused on the deal itself. From first draft to final wire, we guide you with clarity, speed, and deep commercial real estate experience.
