Guadalupe County Real Estate Attorney

Guadalupe County Residential and Commercial Real Estate Lawyer

Real estate is often a good investment. Home ownership not only ensures that a family can maintain a residence, but it will allow them to build equity and realize a variety of financial benefits. Ownership of commercial property can provide a good return on an investment, and an owner may be able to generate income by leasing property to commercial or residential tenants, or they may intend to develop a property to increase its value and allow it to be used in multiple different ways. To protect an investment or make sure a transaction can be completed properly, it is important to work with an attorney who has experience in real estate matters.

For homeowners, commercial property owners, landlords, tenants, and others who need to address issues related to real estate, Geoff Mayfield, Attorney at Law provides dedicated legal help and representation. Geoff has 15+ years of legal experience. In addition to assisting with real estate transactions, he can provide legal help with business law matters, ensuring that commercial property owners or tenants can protect their business interests. He also assists with estate planning, ensuring that residential property owners will be able to address issues related to home ownership both during their lifetimes and after their death.

Assistance With Real Estate Transactions and Related Issues in Guadalupe County

While the sale of residential real estate is often a fairly straightforward transaction, sellers have a variety of legal requirements that they must meet, and they may need to address multiple types of issues that will affect their ability to complete a transaction. Geoff provides guidance throughout the process of selling a home, from the initial negotiation of a purchase contract through to the closing date. He can help identify and resolve any title issues such as liens or encumbrances, while also advising sellers on how to resolve issues related to defects uncovered during a home inspection. He can address multiple types of unique issues, including helping complete all requirements when selling a home as "for sale by owner," as well as working out the details of residential transactions that are financed by the seller.

Matters involving commercial real estate are often more complicated than residential transactions, and the parties in these cases will need to secure representation from an attorney who understands the issues that can play a role in a transaction and the laws affecting property use and development. Geoff assists with commercial real estate transactions, ensuring that buyers and sellers are prepared to address any concerns that could affect them, including matters related to financing, zoning laws, and the assumption of leases for the property's current tenants. He also provides representation for multiple parties involved in real estate development projects, working with them to perform due diligence, negotiate construction contracts, and maintain compliance with environmental regulations and any other applicable laws.

Geoff also works to address issues that may affect landlords or tenants. He helps residential landlords protect their rights and interests by ensuring that their lease agreements will meet their needs and helping them complete evictions in cases where tenants have not paid rent or have violated the terms of a lease. He also provides legal help with commercial leases, helping parties negotiate workable lease agreements and resolve commercial landlord/tenant disputes. He can make sure the parties can resolve matters related to how a tenant is allowed to use property, whether a tenant may sublease a portion of the property to another tenant, who is responsible for maintenance and repairs, whether improvements may be made to the property, and how different types of expenses related to the property will be paid.
