FAQs
Commercial Transactions
What is different about a commercial closing vs residential?
Commercial deals rely on negotiated contracts, longer diligence, and custom title endorsements. You will see corporate resolutions, estoppels, and assignment documents that are not used in residential. An attorney coordinates these moving parts and keeps the timeline realistic.
Do I need a lawyer for a commercial lease in Texas?
Yes. Commercial leases are not standard forms and the economics live in the details. We align the lease language with your rent model, TI plan, and exit strategy.
How are title policies handled for commercial property?
The title company issues owner and lender policies with endorsements tailored to your site. We work through exceptions, survey coverage, access, and restrictions so your policy reflects the deal you believe you are buying.
