REAL ESTATE
Real estate is one of the most fun areas of the law because people are generally happy when buying, selling or developing real estate. That ease, however, can often lead to complacency, mistakes, missed opportunities, and failure to structure agreements in manners that best protect you. Moreover, real estate has its own unique twists and turns. Disputes concerning boundaries, easements, construction defects, and land use can quickly turn nasty. Difficult negotiations, financing issues, and permitting problems often arise to threaten one’s dream. A steady, persistent hand, that remains cool under pressure and pays attention to details is often the difference in achieving your goals. Attorney Atherton’s depth of experience in so many different areas of the law give him a perspective that is uncommon amongst real estate practitioners, often enabling him to fashion outside the box solutions that others miss. Put that experience to work for you by contacting us for all your real estate needs.

Real Estate Intro Video
Real estate can be one of the more fun areas of the law, as there are few experiences more exciting than buying a home or seeing the vision you have for your business become a physical reality. On the other hand, as with many endeavors, the devil can be in the details. Small tweaks to a Purchase and Sale Contract, a Commercial Lease, a Deed or Even a Permit Application, that are too often overlooked, can have BIG consequences. Disputes concerning boundaries, easements, construction defects, and land use can quickly turn nasty. Difficult negotiations, financing issues, and permitting problems can arise that threaten your dreams. What I offer is a keen problem solving ability as well as a steady, persistent hand, that remains cool under pressure, and pays attention to details. In my experience those attributes can often make the difference in whether you achieve your goals or not. If you would like to learn more about how I can help you with your real estate transaction or development, give me a call so we can schedule a time to meet.

Real Estate Mediation Video
Real Estate is one often one of the happier areas of the law. However, when a dispute arises with a contractor, neighbor, co-owner, former owner, or easement holder they can be some of the most difficult and costly disputes to resolve. I suspect this may be because real estate disputes are so personal. Many times I have seen people pay more in legal fees than the value of that which is in dispute is worth. I offer parties an alternative approach. Mediation is an informal, private, confidential process that empowers the parties – rather than a judge or arbitrator – to work cooperatively to structure a resolution that best suits their unique needs. When helpful, this can involve me visiting the property in dispute with the parties and relevant professionals – i.e. surveyors, engineers, contractors, and realtors – on hand to answer questions and provide counsel as issues are discussed and possible resolutions considered. Through mediation, the parties are empowered, by the skillful facilitation of the mediator, to evaluate options, listen to one another’s concerns, and work together to structure a resolution of their own making. If you believe I may be able to help you to resolve your real estate dispute, please give me a call so we can talk.
