Pre-sale Agreements for Real Estate Sale

Attorney Nelson worked with our organization in preparing pre-sale agreements during our negotiation with a potential buyer for a contract sale of some real estate property we owned. Attorney Nelson provided valuable guidance and counsel to our Board regarding matters related to our Not for Profit st...atus and the documents required for our Board to execute the contract sale. He was accessible and effecient which allowed the sale to be completed in a timely manner.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
