REAL ESTATE
________________
Lombardo & DeVellis
understands that the purchase and
permitting of real estate for
commercial, industrial, recreational or
residential development is a market
driven, intricate legal process with a
high risk / reward ratio for our
clients. We provide practical legal
advice grounded in a broad knowledge
base of municipal law and understanding
of the local communities and their land
use boards. Importantly, we respect the
need as much as possible to align and
harmonize the permitting strategy with
the terms of the business deal for the
acquisition for the property. With extensive practical development
experience, we are able to take a
project from conceptual evaluation and
due diligence through permitting and
financing to purchase and lease-up. Our
practical experience allows us to advise
sellers of real estate from the
inception of a transaction, including
negotiation of the broker contract, to
the offer and purchase agreement phase
through the consummation of the sale.

planning meets the following goals:
fulfilling the current needs of the client;
preserving their assets for future
generations; and minimizing taxes. In trying
to achieve these goals we recognize that
every family is different and, therefore,
spend the time necessary to understand each
