Real Estate Transactions

If you are buying or selling a home, Shelton Voorhees Law Group can negotiate and prepare the purchase and sale agreement, analyze inspection reports and seller disclosures, arrange title review, and prepare and review documents for the sale closing.

In commercial real estate, we handle land acquisition and development issues, transactional contracts, and drafting of commercial lease agreements.

Douglas Shelton is extensively knowledgeable on liability concerns for sellers, and has written articles on disclosure requirements. Owners are required under Oklahoma real estate law to disclose all known defects, such as foundation problems, water in air ducts, termite infestation, leaking roof, structural damage, and mold contamination. Failure to disclose these issues allows the purchaser to make a claim for their damages, or lead to a later lawsuit. Home inspectors can also be liable for failure to discover defects in a whole house inspection, and realtors/real estate agents have the same disclosure duty as the seller.
