James Bates Pope & Spivey

Real Estate

The firm’s real estate practice includes commercial and multi-family residential real estate and timberland transactions. Our Real Estate Practice Group handles a variety of property development projects, such as office complexes, multi-family housing, and retail shopping centers. Our attorneys draft mortgage instruments, leases, restrictive covenants, and other documents related to both commercial and multi-family residential real estate transactions, including specialized HUD financing. We assist our clients in responding to the challenges and opportunities of the real estate markets, often utilizing innovative and sophisticated approaches in order to meet our clients’ objectives.

Many business transactions include the sale, tax-free exchange or mortgage of real property as a component of the transaction. Our real estate attorneys work with the firm’s business attorneys to achieve the client’s objectives in these matters. Similarly many estate planning transactions and estate and trust administration matters involve real estate issues, and our Real Estate Practice Group provides needed assistance in these areas as well.

We also handle construction loans, timberland transactions, condemnation proceedings, planning and zoning matters, and advise clients on landlord-tenant issues, foreclosures, and a variety of other real property matters.
