Protecting Your Business. Navigating Complex Real Estate Laws. Securing Your Professional Reputation.

Real estate professionals—brokers, agents, and property managers—operate in a high-stakes environment where legal risks are ever-present. Whether you’re negotiating deals, handling disputes, or protecting your business interests, Guiding Legal Counsel provides comprehensive legal support tailored to the needs of real estate professionals. From transaction disputes to regulatory compliance, our experienced attorneys are here to guide you.


How Our Attorney Can Help Brokers & Realtors

Real estate transactions involve large sums of money, multiple parties, and complex regulations. If you’re a broker or realtor, protecting your legal rights is essential for both your business and your reputation. Here’s how we can assist:


1. Broker and Realtor Dispute Resolution

Disputes are inevitable in real estate, but they don’t have to derail your business. We help resolve conflicts between brokers, agents, clients, and other stakeholders. Whether it’s a commission dispute or disagreements with a client or colleague, we:

  • Mediate and negotiate disputes to prevent costly and time-consuming litigation.

  • Represent you in legal proceedings, including real estate arbitrations or lawsuits.

  • Provide strategic guidance on how to settle disputes amicably while protecting your best interests.

We know how to diffuse tension while securing a fair resolution.


2. Contract Review, Drafting, and Enforcement

Contracts are the backbone of every real estate deal. We help brokers and realtors ensure that contracts are:

  • Clear, enforceable, and comprehensive, protecting your interests.

  • Tailored to address specific terms, conditions, and contingencies that reflect your client’s needs.

  • Compliant with state and federal laws, including real estate disclosure requirements.

If a contract is breached, we also assist with enforcing terms or defending you in a breach of contract situation.


3. Real Estate Commission Disputes

As a broker or realtor, commissions are a major part of your business, but disputes over commissions are common. Our firm helps resolve conflicts related to:

  • Commission agreements and the division of fees between agents and brokers.

  • Disputes with buyers, sellers, and other real estate professionals over commission entitlements.

  • Legal representation in litigation or arbitration to secure the commission you are owed.

We work to ensure you are paid fairly for your services and protect your right to commissions.


4. Regulatory Compliance & Licensing Issues

The real estate industry is heavily regulated. We help brokers and agents comply with the many laws that govern their profession, including:

  • Ensuring you follow local, state, and federal real estate laws (e.g., disclosure requirements, fair housing, and advertising laws).

  • Navigating licensing issues, including disciplinary action, license suspension, or revocation by the state real estate board.

  • Providing guidance on agency law—helping you understand the fiduciary duties and obligations you owe to your clients.

Our attorneys keep you updated on changes to real estate laws and help you avoid penalties or other legal issues.


5. Professional Negligence and Malpractice Defense

Real estate professionals must meet certain standards of care. If you face allegations of negligence or malpractice—whether it’s related to a missed deadline, failure to disclose material facts, or misrepresentation—we can:

  • Provide a vigorous defense against claims of professional negligence.

  • Assist in investigating and gathering evidence to show that you met the required standard of care.

  • Negotiate settlements to mitigate any potential damage to your professional reputation.

We work to protect your career and your livelihood, handling disputes with tact and skill.


6. Landlord-Tenant & Lease Agreement Issues

For brokers and agents involved in property management, landlord-tenant disputes can be a significant concern. We provide legal assistance in:

  • Drafting, reviewing, and enforcing residential and commercial lease agreements.

  • Helping resolve disputes between landlords and tenants, including eviction issues, unpaid rent, and habitability concerns.

  • Defending against claims of unlawful eviction or lease violations.

Whether you’re handling a commercial lease or a residential rental, we’ll make sure you understand your legal rights and obligations.


7. Fraud, Misrepresentation, and Disclosures

Real estate transactions often involve a complex web of information and disclosures. If you face accusations of fraud or misrepresentation in a sale, we provide:

  • Defense against fraud allegations: We help prove you acted in good faith or did not intentionally mislead clients.

  • Guidance on disclosure requirements: Ensuring that all material facts about the property are properly disclosed to avoid future disputes.

  • Assistance with legal actions arising from fraudulent practices in real estate deals.

We ensure that your business practices comply with ethical standards and that you avoid legal exposure related to misrepresentation.
