Having been in business for over 23 years, the Watkins Firm demonstrates they can navigate in a changing economy. The requirements of clients change depending on real estate and stock market trends. In a depressed economy, financing issues, loan modifications, foreclosures and short sales greatly increase. The experienced real estate lawyers at the Watkins Firm are ready to help!

Most real estate disputes can be avoided or at least minimized with good planning and an effective strategy. While no one wants to spend money on a lawyer, the money spent in having a lawyer review real estate contracts can save money in the long term. The seasoned real estate lawyers at the Watkins Firm can help with the following issues:

Short Sales – the bank/lender allows a property to be sold for less than the amount on the mortgage and as a result, the bank/lender takes a loss.

Loan Modification – is defined as the process whereby the terms of a mortgage/loan are modified outside the original terms of the contract and agreed to by the lender and borrower.

Foreclosure – is the legal process that transfers the right of home ownership from the homeowner to the bank or lender. A home goes into foreclosure when the owner defaults on his mortgage loan payments.
