Real Estate Contract Disputes

West Essex Real Estate Attorney Protects Clients' Assets

The unprecedented housing market has dramatically affected the status quo in real estate. Without notice, mortgage companies are changing the list of conditions to buy homes, even after prospective homeowners sign written agreements. In many circumstances, buyers are not able to meet the banks' criteria, causing heated real estate contract disputes.

My name is Bret Steig, and I have nearly 15 years of experience in real estate law — long before predatory lending practices forever changed the housing market. I have an in-depth background protecting clients' investments when real estate contract disputes occur. I am committed to providing you with the best representation possible.

Are you in the middle of a tough real estate dispute? I will tailor my approach around your needs and goals, while clearly explaining your legal options. Call my law office at (973) 403-6700 or e-mail me to schedule a free phone consultation or a convenient appointment at my law office.


Representing Clients in Real Estate Contract Disputes

In 1995, I started the law office of A. Bret Steig, Attorney at Law to support the community in West Essex by providing people with valuable legal representation. My strong commitment to clients remains the foundation of my law firm to ensure they are protected from real estate disputes, involving:

  • Zoning disputes
  • Mortgage closings
  • Home inspections
  • Closing agreements

I have represented buyers, sellers, contractors and developers in hundreds of residential and commercial real estate disputes. I am a tough negotiator with a deep background of successfully bargaining with opposing sides to make sure my clients' investments are protected.

If our negotiation efforts are unsuccessful, I will effectively prepare your case for trial. I have a strong background working with appraisers and engineers to prove fault and the extent of damages. Expert testimony will create a compelling legal argument, whether an error was made during the home inspection process or the bank made a last-minute change at closing causing you to lose the property.
