The value brought to a transaction by Stephen goes beyond what the average real estate agent can provide. With average real estate agents, many complicated parts of the real estate transaction would be punted by an agent to a real estate attorney. For example:

The average real estate agent cannot negotiate and interpret purchase agreements that would be deemed  the practice of law.  For instance, the negotiation of the initial deposit return and contingencies to closing are crucial to a transaction. Those terms in the purchase agreement need to be carefully understood, negotiated and followed.

The average real estate will not dive deeply into the title report, tile history and recorded documents. Title to property may be subject to easements, covenants, restrictions and other rights and encumbrances affecting the property and may materially impact value if exercised. Understanding the state of title and rights impacting title is critical.  For sellers, being proactive and resolving title issues before getting into escrow will ensure higher value and a smooth closing.

Past clients include buyers, sellers, investors (institutional or mom/pop), and developers.

Property types include residential (condominiums, single family homes (split lot development and traditional), tenant in common interests, multi-units up to 4 units)) and commercial real estate  (multifamily, retail, industrial, hospitality, and raw land).
