Real Estate

Commercial Real Estate

We have significant experience representing clients with commercial real estate needs including purchase and sale transactions, leasing (commercial and retail), development and financing.

Lease Auditing

The vast majority of small companies lease office or retail space to run their businesses.  Because these leases are complicated, landlords commonly make errors in calculating the tenant's share of operating expenses and other rental costs.  Even small errors can result in tenants being overcharged by thousands or tens of thousands of dollars over the term of the lease.  Most often, tenants don’t have the time or expertise to review these bills on a monthly basis.  At Ford & Huff, we have attorneys with significant commercial leasing experience who will conduct an audit of your lease for a minimal cost and advise you of your rights if you are being overcharged.

Residential Real Estate

Buying or selling a home is probably the most significant financial transaction that anyone undertakes in their lifetime. While this can be an exciting time, without the proper legal guidance, the process can be frustrating, overwhelming and more expensive than necessary.  Even if there are no obvious disagreements between the Buyer and Seller it is advisable for each party to enter into real estate transactions with their own attorney who can help steer them away from common pitfalls and make the transaction an enjoyable experience. 

We represent Buyers, Sellers and Financial Institutions from drafting a Purchase and Sale Contract through obtaining the final Title Insurance Policy.
