Experienced Houston Lawyer Handles Complex Real Estate Matters
A counselor with knowledge developed through five decades of legal practice
The handling of real estate transactions and disputes can make or break you. Errors and overlooked issues can haunt a business or family years after a sale closes. With so much at stake, you need the confidence that only comes with an established real estate attorney. At Barlow Jones, L.L.P., I, Joe Barlow, have been assisting clients in the Houston area with a wide range of real estate matters for 50 years. No matter how complex or contentious your situation might be, I can identify and work toward the best possible solution for you or your business.
Comprehensive advice for commercial property transactions
Commercial real estate development requires a knowledgeable adviser with the experience to address the countless legal details that arise, often unexpectedly. For projects involving commercial construction, residential subdivisions and even specialized properties like marinas and golf courses, I provide comprehensive representation, which can include:
- Ensuring legal requirements are met — From acquisition and lease documents to title confirmation and regulatory approval, I assist commercial developers with every legal detail.
- Establishing funding structures — Large projects often hinge on the ability to obtain financing. I help clients find and formalize solid funding for all types of projects.
- Coordinating construction processes — My background affords me a wide network of connections with engineers and other professionals to help you obtain the assistance you need.
In my work at Barlow Jones, L.L.P., I consistently surpass client expectations even when representing clients during arduous development processes.
A trusted resource for real estate contract drafting and review
Commercial and residential real estate contracts have grown increasingly complex as new types of property issues arise. Buyers and sellers can hold up deals based on legal, environmental and other factors that were not even contemplated a generation ago. I understand every potential aspect of a real estate transaction and use that knowledge when drafting or reviewing purchase, lease or other documents for my clients. My local knowledge helps identify issues that others might miss.
Guiding individuals and families through residential home sales
For most families, the purchase or sale of a home involves the greatest investment they will ever make. That’s why effective counsel is essential in protecting your family from unexpected problems in real estate transactions. I won’t let you be surprised at the closing or afterward when it comes to the purchase, sale or ownership of your home. At Barlow Jones, L.L.P., I am committed to providing detailed advice to each client in any transaction: I don’t just fill out forms and rush you thorough the process, but explain what each right and obligation entails.
Skilled advocacy for title disputes and other conflicts
Errors on deeds or boundary misinterpretations can threaten your property rights and cost you money. If a dispute arises in the Houston or Galveston area, I can work immediately to investigate questions of ownership and documentation. With 50 years of real estate advocacy in the region, I can quickly get to the truth and advocate effectively on behalf of your claim.
