The law office of James M. Porfidoin Morristown, New Jersey, represents both commercial and residential clients in real estate transactions.  We serve clients in northern New Jersey, including Morris County, Sussex County, Warren County, Somerset County, and the communities of Dover, Parsippany, Randolph, Denville, Rockaway, Roxbury, Mount Olive, Mendham, Chester, Morristown and surrounding areas.     

Our residential clients are looking to purchase or sell condominiums, townhouses, and homes and we advise our business clients on all aspects of commercial leases including buy and sale transactions. 

The primary focus of our firm is to provide assistance to our clients in the entire process of the real estate closing.  For a person without a legal background, dealing with banks and financial institutions during a real estate closing can be a daunting task.  We try to alleviate that feeling and make sure our clients are on a level playing field with their bank or mortgage lender, and questions are answered regarding the 3-day attorney review, the mortgage commitment, and the home inspection contingencies that are clauses in the contract of sale. 

Our office will also advise you on real estate matters such as mortgages and survey orders.  We provide title reviews to ensure that there are no ownership or boundary disputes associated with the property that is the subject of the buy or sale.

There are several potential "land mines" to watch out for when buying or selling property in New Jersey, making it necessary to have an experienced attorney who is knowledgeable about all aspects of real estate law.    For instance, there are several environmental issues that could raise havoc on your real estate transaction.  Determining if a property has environmental hazards such as radon, toxic waste, lead paint, asbestos, or a leaking oil tank is critical, and is often overlooked.  We can also help you identify potential problems related to private wells and sewers.
