About Brian

      For as little as $295 for Sellers and $450 for Buyers, Attorney Brian Lohse will represent you for your real estate closing from day 1 until the property closes and the keys are handed over.

      Unlike most real estate attorneys handling real estate closings, you will deal personally with me, not with a paralegal, secretary, or 3rd year law student. That means my office cannot handle as many transactions as other law offices that have a team of paralegals and secretaries. What it does mean is that you will get personal assistance from the attorney working on your transaction. When you call, you will speak to me.

      I understand that many people shop for homes on the weekend. Generally, I can provide assistance on the weekends if you need help. If you have a question or would like to forward a contract to me for review on the weekend prior to you signing it, I will be happy to assist or answer questions within a couple of hours.

Review Brian Lohse

Experienced Real Estate Lawyer

Posted by

Brian oversaw the legal aspects of the sale of 2 houses for me - one was my Mom's house and the other mine. He was well organized, proved very experienced and his rates a great value. Each transaction involved some difficult negotiations with the buyers. Brian's advice was always in our best interest, yet showed pragmatism when required. Would not hesitate to use him again.

Excellent real estate attorney

Posted by

Brian handled my condo sale in downtown Chicago. I travel extensively and needed a lawyer that could take care of everything for me and do as much as possible via text, email, Docusign. I eventually had him sign final papers on my behalf via POA. Through the whole process, I felt very comfortable that Brian was on top of everything and I didn't need to be. The transaction went through on time with no issues.

Made My Long Distance Condo Closing a Dream

Posted by

Working with Brian on my recent home sale was a dream. I am long-distance from the property, yet it was easy to develop a rapport with Brian over the phone. Finding an attorney long-distance was a concern of mine, but from the first conversation, I knew Brian was the right one for me. He explained the entire process of selling a home to me, and laid out all of the out-of-pocket costs during that initial consultation. He was extremely professional, flexible, and responsive throughout the process. He took care of everything, and let me know exactly what I needed to do which helped keep me organized. The closing went off without a hitch and all expenses were in line with my expectations. I'd definitely work with Brian again in the future!

superb lawyer - highly recommend!

Brian Lohse was my attorney for the recent closing on my new home. He did an excellent job representing me at a very reasonable cost. He is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain the big picture, as well as important details, to clients unfamiliar with various legal implications. He responded to my calls and questions in a timely fashion, which was important, considering the various issues and time sensitivity of my closing. Furthermore, he was undeniably a very strong advocate on my behalf, which benefitted me, and from my experience, tends to be rare in working with legal counsel. I highly recommend using him for your legal real estate needs.
Brian Lohse's response: Jennifer, Congratulations again on your recent home purchase. It was a pleasure working with you!

House closing

Brain assisted us in an Illinois home sale. It was far from routine with the weather over the New Year and problems with the closing date due to problems with the well and getting a survey company out because of the cold. Brian came through for us on all issues.

One of the Best!

Literally in a pinch Mr. Lohse was there for me. He answered his phone, he was extremely polite and knowledgeable and really seemed to be concerned and provide immediate assistance in regards to my eviction case.I was at the end of my rope, the day before my court appearances and Mr. Lohse made me feel comfortable and more relaxed about my situation. His suggestions gave me confidence and peace of mind in a time where I went into complete panic mode. He even did a follow up to ensure that I was okay. Should there ever be a time that a person is in my situation or my have basic question about real estate, I highly recommend Brian Lohse for your legal needs.
