Commercial and Residential Real Estate

Residential & Commercial Real Estate

One of the most important investments you will ever make is buying a home or commercial property. You must have solid legal representation when so much is at stake because one simple error can cost you thousands. 


Whether you’re purchasing or selling commercial or residential real estate through a real estate agent or on your own, the Richmond real estate lawyers at Ayers & Stolte will enact proper safeguards to protect your investment.


We guide you through the entire process of your commercial or residential real estate transaction, from negotiating the deal to preparing/reviewing the sale and purchase contract, to reviewing mortgage terms, clearing title, securing title insurance, performing the closing, and perhaps most importantly, ensuring you understand your rights, obligations and the costs associated with the Virginia real estate transaction.
