Real Estate
Jim Glaser Law represents Massachusetts buyers and sellers on purchase-and-sale representation, broker-assistance and mortgage-advisory services, easement and boundary disputes, condominium issues, and title defects. Massachusetts home buyers receive purchase-and-sale representation at no charge when the firm closes the loan and writes the title insurance.
The short answer
Massachusetts real estate is governed primarily by M.G.L. c. 183 (deeds and conveyancing), c. 184 (real property generally), and c. 186 (landlord and tenant). Title to most Massachusetts land passes by recorded deed at the county Registry of Deeds; registered (Land Court) parcels carry an additional certificate of title that is conclusive against most adverse claims. Jim Glaser Law handles purchase-and-sale representation, broker-assistance and mortgage-advisory services, and disputes including purchase-and-sale agreement breaches, easement and boundary disputes, condominium fee and governance disputes, and title defects discovered at closing. Massachusetts home buyers receive purchase-and-sale representation at no charge when the firm closes the loan and writes the title insurance. Other real-estate matters are billed on a fixed-fee or hourly basis, addressed in the written fee agreement.
