Real Estate & Land Use

Real Estate & Land Use — Secure your deal, protect your property rights

Buying, selling, leasing, or developing property? We guide you from due diligence to closing and stand ready for disputes and hearings. Our team coordinates contracts, title and survey issues, financing, zoning approvals, and environmental interfaces—so your transaction moves forward with clarity and fewer surprises.

• Residential and commercial purchase/sale agreements, addenda, and closing support
• Lease drafting and negotiation for landlords and tenants, including build-out and CAM provisions
• Title commitments, exceptions, endorsements, and curative actions; survey review and encroachments
• Zoning, land-use approvals, variances, and meetings with planning boards
• HOA/COA issues, assignment and estoppel matters, and disclosure compliance
• Disputes, escrow conflicts, property damage insurance claims, and specific performance

Based in Castle Rock and serving the Denver metro, with a national expansion plan.

Our approach: deal-savvy, dispute-prepared, compliance-aware

We focus on practical risk allocation and clear documents. You’ll get plain-language guidance on contingencies, deadlines, and remedies, plus a strategy for board meetings and public hearings when land-use issues arise. If conflict appears, we pivot quickly to protect leverage while continuing to pursue efficient solutions.

• Thorough due diligence checklists—title, survey, environmental, and HOA/COA
• Negotiation playbooks for common sticking points (repairs, credits, timing)
• Board/agency preparation with exhibits, staff coordination, and talking points
• Cross-practice insight into insurance, tax, and corporate structure impacts

Fees & billing

We aim for predictability. Many transactions are available at flat or phased fees; disputes and complex entitlements typically use hourly or hybrid models. Every engagement includes a written scope, expected milestones, and communication cadence—so you always know costs and next steps.

• Flat-fee packages for standard residential closings and common commercial leases
• Add-ons for title curative work, entity formation, or complex amendments
• Hourly/hybrid for disputes, hearings, and multi-agency approvals—with estimates
• Transparent billing and regular cost-to-complete updates

• Survey (ALTA/NSPS where applicable), site plan, and any encroachment data
• Inspection reports, environmental assessments (Phase I/II), and utility letters
