LEGAL-ENHANCED GUIDANCE

Real estate moves fast — and the details matter. With a background in corporate and real estate law, I help buyers and sellers navigate contracts, negotiations, and disclosures with clarity and confidence, creating a smoother path from decision to closing.

“Steven’s legal background guided us through one of the most complex transactions we’ve ever faced.”

EXPERIENCE THAT ELEVATES YOUR TRANSACTION

Before becoming a full-time real estate professional, I spent more than 15 years practicing corporate and real estate law. That experience shaped how I approach every transaction today. I understand how contracts work, what terms matter, which details often get overlooked, and how negotiation dynamics impact outcomes.

My approach isn’t to overwhelm you with legal detail — it’s to simplify the process, explain what matters, and help you make informed, confident decisions. Whether you’re reviewing disclosures, comparing offers, or evaluating risk, you’ll have a clear, steady advocate at every step.

HOW MY LEGAL BACKGROUND SUPPORTS YOU

Clear, Confident Contracts

I break down terms and conditions in a straightforward way so you understand exactly what you’re signing — and why it matters.

Negotiation with Real Leverage

Years spent negotiating complex deals allow me to spot risks, identify opportunities, and advocate for your best possible outcome.

Detail-Focused Protection

I closely evaluate disclosures, timelines, contingencies, and offer terms to ensure your interests stay fully protected throughout the process.

Lower Risk. Lower Stress. Better Decisions.

My role is to anticipate issues early, simplify complex decisions, and create a predictable, smoother path to closing.

Steve stepped in as … Read MoreRead Less

Legal-Enhanced Guidance FAQ

Not at all. The advantage is that you have someone who has a proven track record for doing thousands of deals, whether in real estate or corporate transactions. My role is to simplify — not complicate. I focus on clear explanations and practical guidance that help you make confident choices.

No. Absolutely not. I don’t act as your attorney or provide legal representation. However, my legal background helps you understand the implications of what you’re signing and when you should involve a real estate attorney.

I’m able to identify leverage points, anticipate motivations on the other side, and structure strategies that strengthen your position — whether you’re buying or selling.

Yes. Buyers gain clarity and confidence. Sellers gain risk reduction, stronger preparation, and negotiation strategy. Both sides benefit from having someone who anticipates issues early.

For investors, legal-enhanced guidance is a major advantage. Buying an investment property requires a completely different analysis than purchasing a primary residence. Very few Agents have the additional skill set to guide this process properly. I help evaluate terms, risk, timelines, disclosures, leases, and long-term considerations so you can build a stronger portfolio with fewer surprises.

If a situation requires legal representation — litigation, estate issues, unlawful detainer, or highly specialized matters — I will always recommend bringing in a licensed attorney. My role is to help you recognize those moments early.
