About Nancy

Biography

Nancy has the knowledge and experience to give clients the highest quality representation. She has substantial business and financial expertise and can assist in any real estate or business transaction. She brings big firm quality and boutique service to her practice.

Purchase and sale of real estate can be complex. Knowledge of purchase and sale agreements, warranties and issues with ownership is crucial to a successful transaction. Commercial leasing for both landlord and tenant involves numerous critical issues which must be dealt with in leases.

Formation of entities including tax consequences and entity operations.

Real estate ownership should always be in a limited liability company. This entity provides pass-through taxation as in a partnership, and liability shield for owners as in a corporation. With escalating real estate values many sell their property by way of 1031 exchange. Nancy is a national expert.

Need help with real estate issue? Ask Nancy.

Nancy helped us navigate through two different transactions - purchasing a property with a trust as owner as well as making sure a contract with our contractor was the way it should be. She knows what she's doing, easy to communicate with and very accessible, and extremely fair in her charges. You ...can't go wrong. We'd recommend her to anybody.
