Real Estate Law Services Based in an Appreciation for Colorado’s Amazing Land

Being based in the mountains of Evergreen, our firm has a deep appreciation for Colorado real estate law. We understand what the vast and varied Colorado terrain has to offer. With over 30 years of Colorado experience, the lawyers at Coaty and Woods, P.C. know the role that real estate plays in our state’s economy.

Practicing here among the mountains and so close to the front range, we see firsthand how the Evergreen, Golden, Morrison, Conifer, Bailey, Idaho Springs and Georgetown economies are very much dependent on the vitality of our real estate markets and construction industry. As such, our diverse, comprehensive real estate practice serves Coloradans and Colorado companies with legal guidance in practically every phase of a transaction.

Experts at Colorado Mountain Property

With our Evergreen office nestled in right here in the majestic Rocky Mountains, our experience at analyzing and solving issues with mountain property is extensive. When it comes to legal ownership and the rights attached to a piece of property, mountain areas often bring more complicated factors to the table. Because of a parcel’s unconventional layout, for example, property boundaries in mountainous areas and easements are a common area of dispute. Our team has seen these sorts of cases many times and we know the right questions and approaches to get to the bottom of the issue as quickly as possible. When it comes to any real estate transaction in a mountainous or hilly area, it’s best to go with expert lawyers like those here at Coaty and Woods, P.C. to help you save time and avoid potential issues.

Real Estate Transaction Lawyers that Work for You

Our experienced real estate lawyers handle purchase, sale, exchange, lease transactions, land use, zoning regulations and other matters relating to land development, as well as lending and financing. Whether you are a residential or commercial buyer or seller, a real estate broker or other real estate professional such as a homeowners’ association, landlord, developer or contractor, we can help make your next transaction proceed smoothly, avoid surprises and identify potential pitfalls.

Helping You Get It Right – Avoid Accidental Illegal Real Estate Practices

Even companies and individuals who have conducted real estate transactions before may not be familiar with all the legal details that will keep a transaction legal. Every transaction is different, so new details can bring additional considerations to the table. And not all brokers are versed on the legal details of a transaction.

To avoid a potential breach of contract or claim of negligence for example, we recommend a review of your contract with a real estate lawyer to make sure all the necessary information is included. Whether you’re buying, selling, developing, representing or managing, let our team help you with the legal considerations.

What does a Real Estate Lawyer Do?

People often ask, “If I already have an agent, what does a real estate lawyer do?” When there are legal questions, is it especially important to consult your attorney as brokers may not be as versed in real estate law or the legal implications of a particular issue. A real estate lawyer is up-to-date on state or local changes that can affect your transaction.

Attorneys are hired to ensure that the proper procedures are observed when selling, buying or developing land. With their experience, they can also help you avoid future pitfalls for plans you may have after purchasing, such as with zoning regulations. This is why it is important you discuss all your plans for a property with an attorney.
