Prescott Real Estate Attorney
Serving Prescott Resident’s Real Estate Needs
Real estate law affects every Prescott resident. From renters to landlords, homeowners to contractors, developers, and investors. Regardless of your circumstances, you have likely been involved in real estate law in some form. When real estate disputes arise, and you find it impossible to settle them through civil conversation, it may be time to give Resolvere Law PLLC a call.
Most real estate disputes revolve around contracts. When a landlord needs to evict a tenant, they must do so according to the terms outlined in the lease. When a homeowner sues a contractor for incomplete or late work, the courts will examine the contract between the two. With our representation, not only will you have legally sound, enforceable contracts, but you will also have an attorney who isn’t afraid of litigation when negotiating is no longer an option.

What is Real Estate Litigation?
Real estate litigation refers to legal disputes between two or more parties regarding property transactions, ownership rights, contracts, and land use issues. When these disputes arise between buyers and sellers, landlords and tenants, developers, or property owners, and a settlement can’t be agreed upon, litigation may be the only remaining option.
Prescott, Arizona, real estate litigation follows state and local property laws, which means you need the help of an attorney who fully understands Arizona real estate laws. We can help negotiate a mutually beneficial agreement or negotiate mediation and arbitration. When that’s not possible, we can help you through every step of court proceedings. Our goal at Resolvere Law PLLC is to protect you and your best interests and ensure legal agreements are enforced.
What Does a Real Estate Attorney Do?
Real estate law is complex. It requires attention to detail, knowledge of Arizona’s zoning laws, and the ability to decipher real estate contracts to ensure they are legally enforceable and fair and operate within the scope of state and federal laws.
Real estate law involves proactive and reactive work. We will ensure that your real estate contracts, transactions, leases, and future developments are valid and legally solid. When disputes arise, we work with both parties using negotiating tactics, mediation, arbitration, and, if necessary, defending clients in court.
Your real estate attorney must be knowledgeable about the practice areas that affect you, your family, and your business security. Failure at any stage in a real estate transaction can result in costly legal issues down the line.
When is Real Estate Litigation Necessary?
Contract disputes: When you are involved in a real estate transaction, you may run into contract disputes. We can help you settle simple disagreements over the terms of a contract or enforce the terms of a contract when a party breaches their legal obligations.
- Title disputes: Title disputes happen when there is an issue with a piece of property or the title does not accurately represent the property. Things like mistakes in public records, undisclosed liens on the property, or inaccurate property borders must be settled before closing.
- Construction defects: Disputes often arise when homeowners or developers are unhappy with a contractor’s work, either because of shoddy work or subpar building materials. If these disagreements can’t be settled amicably, it may be time to get Resolvere Law PLLC involved.
- Zoning Issues: Like most cities, Prescott has strict zoning laws that determine what land and businesses can and cannot be used for. These laws exist to protect Arizona’s natural beauty, but they can also cause problems for investors, developers, and commercial real estate owners. Make informed purchasing decisions with the assistance of an attorney knowledgeable about Arizona’s zoning laws.
- Ownership claims: When two parties claim ownership of the same piece of property, legal disputes are almost guaranteed. Find out how our law firm can help with your adverse possession claim.
- Landlord-tenant disputes: Disagreements about lease terms, eviction proceedings, and property maintenance can put landlords and tenants at odds with each other. Whether you are a landlord trying to care for their rental property or a tenant who feels like their landlord isn’t honoring the lease, a real estate attorney can help settle these disputes.
- Foreclosure defense: When the worst happens, a homeowner may face legal issues with lenders. With our help, we can attempt to delay the foreclosure process or negotiate a modification or settlement with the lender.
- Boundary disputes: Innacurate surveys and confusing property lines can cause neighbors to get into a legal dispute about where they think their property ends and their neighbor’s starts. Let our attorneys review the issue and settle the disagreement with facts.
- Real estate fraud: When the excitement of a real estate purchase settles, you may start to notice the property wasn’t accurately represented and is in worse condition than you thought. Litigation may be necessary to recover damages or cancel the contract altogether.
- Property damage: When a property is damaged due to natural disasters, negligence, or accidents, a real estate litigation attorney may be needed to resolve insurance claims and repairs and settle compensation disagreements.
