Our Residential Real Estate Services in Arlington

Residential real estate transactions and matters can involve many issues and potential legal challenges.

We provide the following services to address related issues:  

  • Review of title commitments, surveys, and closing documents: Problems with property titles, such as unresolved liens, disputes over ownership, or title defects, can delay or derail a sale. Clearing these issues requires careful investigation and resolution. We help conduct thorough title searches and meticulously review documents. This attention to detail helps to identify and address potential issues before closing, reducing risks and promoting a legally sound transaction. 
  • Boundary dispute resolution: Disagreements over property lines may arise, often requiring legal action or mediation to protect your rights. We work diligently to resolve these situations by conducting detailed surveys, evaluating property deeds, and negotiating equitable solutions. 
  • Contract dispute resolution: Issues with purchase or sale agreements, including breach of contract or unclear terms, can lead to financial loss or litigation. To prevent complications, these contracts need to be precise and enforceable. We mitigate risks by thoroughly reviewing, drafting, and negotiating contracts for clarity and enforceability to protect your interests. 
  • Zoning and land use guidance: Local zoning laws can limit how a property may be used, so compliance is critical before closing on a property. We offer comprehensive advice, researching local zoning laws and ordinances while helping you obtain necessary permits or variances when applicable. 
  • Disclosure violation resolution: Sellers in Texas are required to disclose material facts about a property. Failing to do so can result in disputes or legal claims against the seller. Our team can help clients comply with disclosure requirements and provide effective resolution if disputes arise. We work to safeguard your rights as a buyer or seller and resolve claims to minimize liabilities. 
  • Financing and mortgage oversight: Loan agreements, mortgage terms, or financing contingencies can create significant headaches without proper legal oversight. Agreements must be transparent, fair, and legally sound. We provide guidance through the financing process. If disputes occur, we can offer tailored strategies to resolve them effectively. 

Jackson, Landrith & Kulesz can also help with the following: 

  • Development of residential property: Whether a small-scale project or large-scale community development, we can assist with the legal framework needed to manage the residential development process. From zoning and permits to contracts and agreements, we provide comprehensive legal support. 
  • Drafting construction contracts: We draft and negotiate construction contracts for builders, contractors, engineers, architects, and landowners while prioritizing legal compliance and mitigating risks. We work to make each contract clear, enforceable, and tailored to meet the project’s requirements. 
  • Deed restrictions development: We draft and implement deed restrictions for residential developers and homeowner associations to maintain the value and character of residential communities. Our team works to make all restrictions align with applicable laws and meet the unique needs of your development. 
  • Residential leases and rentals: Renting or leasing a property can involve complex legal considerations, including tenant rights, lease terms, and property maintenance obligations. Our team can help you address these factors to avoid disputes or legal issues. We can negotiate or litigate where conflicts arise to protect client rights and best interests. 

Serving Your Residential Real Estate Needs in Arlington

Texas real estate law is more complicated than general contract law. It involves unique rules and issues specific to property ownership and transactions. While general contract law deals with agreements between parties, real estate law dives deeper into property rights, land use, and legal requirements for transferring ownership.

Various regulations govern Texas residential real estate transactions, including the Texas Property Code and Texas Real Estate License Act. These laws control everything from how property transactions are conducted to the duties of real estate agents and brokers involved in a transaction. 

The Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA) also protects against fraud or misleading practices in real estate dealings to ensure fair treatment of buyers and sellers. We possess in-depth knowledge of Texas property laws, helping your transaction comply with all relevant regulations.

No matter what side of a transaction, issue, or dispute you may be on in a residential real estate matter, our legal professionals offer diligence, commitment, and experience designed to protect your rights and best interests.
