Real Estate

In San Jose, California and the surrounding areas of Northern California, the Law Offices of Fernando V. Hernandez provides sound professional advice and skilled legal services on behalf of buyers and sellers and other parties to real estate transactions and real estate litigation disputes.

A real estate transaction represents a major investment of time, money, and effort to see a deal through to its conclusion. Whether buying, selling, investing, or developing, real estate deals often present substantial risk, with a variety of circumstances that can occur at any time to derail the process. Our firm represents buyers and sellers of real property, as well as realtors, architects, contractors and others, to make sure their interests are promoted and their legal rights protected.

Transactions

We can help you by negotiating, drafting, or reviewing your contracts for the purchase or sale of real property or commercial lease agreements. Our goal in every transaction is to make sure your rights are protected and your objectives are met. A well-drafted document will go a long way toward preventing problems before they start, and if a dispute does arise, you can be comfortable that you are not disadvantaged in any way by a poorly-worded document that contains vague and ambiguous language or waives important legal rights.

Litigation

When disputes do arise, legal intervention may be necessary to resolve them. Whether a resolution can be brought about by a negotiated settlement or mediation, or if a full trial to judgment is required, we are there every step of the way, looking out for your interests and advocating vigorously on your behalf.

Our office can ably represent you in a variety of real estate disputes, including:

• Breach of contract
• Borderline disputes
• Ownership disputes
• Liens
• Bank loan issues such as foreclosures and short sales and related injunctions
• Real estate broker fraud
• Bank liability for misrepresentation on loans
