Saved me from bad land deal

I responded to an ad to buy waterfront property out of a development on a nearby lake. The one day sale was set up to do mass showings then if you wanted to buy you signed a contract on the spot for the lot of your choice. The land was beautiful and prices were very good so I entered into a contract.... The Seller made no provisions for any due diligence and set an aggressive closing date. After several months I got suspicious and hired Mr. Jordan to review the entire transaction. He found numerous issues with the covenants and restrictions rendering the property unmarketable. These issues were not apparent to me and I am an attorney with the experience of many deals under my belt. Mr. Jordan was able to terminate the contract against the Sellers vigorous efforts to force the closing, saving me from a terrible and expensive mistake. His knowledge of real estate law was immense and instrumental in causing the Seller to return my earnest money. His fee was very reasonable and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone needing real estate advice.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
