Residential Real Estate

Oklahoma City Lawyers: Residential Real Estate Transactions and Disputes

When you buy a house, you expect that the seller has disclosed major
problems as required by law. If you discover after closing that your roof
leaks during the first big rainstorm, the exterminator confirms a termite
infestation, or other problems compromise your new home, you may feel
financially and emotionally devastated. At Beets McNaughton, PLLC, in
Oklahoma City, we can help you take legal action.

Oklahoma law recognizes that buying a house is one of the biggest
investments you will ever make; therefore, there are certain protections in
place for buyers of residential real estate. The law requires that most sellers
disclose, in writing, defects that they know about such as: defects with the
water and sewer system, roof, wall, and foundation; use of hazardous
construction materials; and termite infestations. Buyers are entitled to know
about most residential real estate problems before they make a huge
investment.

Were you a victim of fraud or a failure to disclose? If a realtor was involved
or if a home inspector reviewed your contract, Oklahoma real estate laws
could protect you. You should know your rights. At Beets McNaughton,
PLLC, we review all the documents involved and help you understand how
Oklahoma residential real estate law may provide a solution.

Should I buy property that is "for sale by owner"?

Because the law doesn't require the same disclosures to be given to buyers
if a realtor is not involved, many people are hesitant to purchase residential
real estate that is "for sale by owner." However, these properties can often
be a great investment — just as long as you make sure you are protected.

At Beets McNaughton, PLLC, we take steps to protect you during a
residential real estate transaction. We make sure you are signing a valid
and enforceable contract. We ensure your contract outlines the duties and
obligations of both sides, and take the necessary steps to ensure the title is
marketable. We help you understand the legal ramifications before you sign
the contract.
