Real Estate
Closings, title problems, boundary disputes and commercial leases for homeowners, buyers and small landlords. We read the deed history so you do not inherit someone else’s mistake.
Property Work,
Done Early,
Before Closing
Day Comes
Most property problems are cheaper to prevent than to fix. We review title before you close, write leases that answer the obvious questions, and settle boundary disagreements with surveys and signed agreements instead of lawsuits whenever the facts allow. When a dispute does need a courtroom, the same attorney who knows the file carries it there.

From Contract to Recording
A purchase, a lease or a boundary matter moves through four stages, and we tell you which one you are in.
Review the Contract
We read the purchase agreement or lease before you sign, and flag due diligence dates you cannot miss.
Search the Title
A title search back through the chain of deeds, plus a review of easements, liens and survey exceptions.
Fix What We Find
Missing releases, old judgments and boundary gaps get cleared before closing, not after.
Close and Record
We run the closing, disburse funds from our trust account, and record the deed with the register.

I did not know what a boundary survey was. Josiah walked me through it twice, never made me feel slow, and my neighbor and I still wave from the porch.

Our old lease was a template from the internet. The new one answered every question our tenants used to text us about at midnight.
Helen W.Small landlord. Illustrative client story, not a real review.
They found an unreleased lien two weeks before closing and had it cleared in time. We moved in on schedule.

Yes. North Carolina requires an attorney to conduct residential closings. You can choose your own, and we are glad to be that attorney.
Not necessarily. A current survey and a boundary line agreement resolve many encroachments. Court is the last step, not the first.
Yes, usually on a flat fee. We focus on rent escalations, repair duties, assignment rights and what happens if your business outgrows the space.
