Check for Potential Street Improvements #AttorneyTalk Hiring an attorney when purchasing a residential property can limit street improvement surprises. For example, a family purchases a property in a subdivision on a quiet street with a dead end. What they didn't realize is the dead-end is going to be extended for the next mile and connect to a busy street. The once slow street that usually sees a dozen cars a day will now have a dozen cars every 15 minutes. The good news is this information is almost always a public record and a real estate attorney can help you find it.

It's #AttorneyTalk Tuesday! Are you comfortable with your lawyer? Being comfortable with your lawyer is important because depending upon the complexity of the case, it's possible you may be communicating with this person often for the next several years in regard to your case. Being comfortable means it will be easier to communicate clear information and make decisions about your case.
