Also known as a purchase agreement, an agreement of sale is a contract that outlines the terms and conditions of a real estate transaction. Our meticulous document review attorneys can draft your agreement of sale and negotiate its terms and conditions.

An easement gives someone the legal right to use another person’s property. There are several types of easements, each with different characteristics and purposes.

Neighborhoods with homeowners associations (HOAs) often have strict maintenance standards and premium amenities, leading to higher property values.

At Bumbaugh George Prather, our property attorneys can assess the legality of your HOA policy, help you resolve HOA complaints, and explain how to have your HOA investigated if you believe it’s acting unlawfully.
