For most people, buying a home is the single largest investment decision they will make and can represent the culmination of years of planning and saving. Given the size and importance of the transaction and the potential liabilities involved, buyers and sellers need to be certain that they receive a fair deal and their exposure to risk is minimized.

-Background research on the property
-Real estate title reviews and arranging for title insurance
-Reviewing contract and lease language
-Preparing for the unexpected before closing
