Real Estate Attorney

At Klun Law Firm we are ready to assist you in achieving your real estate dream.  Our lawyers are recognized in northern Minnesota as leaders in real estate, lakeshore and cabin development, and land use. We provide real estate legal services throughout Minnesota, however, our primary service area includes northern Minnesota and the communities of Virginia, Hibbing, Ely, Grand Rapids, Bemidji, Cloquet, International Falls, and Duluth.  Contact our office to speak with an experienced lawyer today.
 
Owning a cabin, lake home, or residence in northern Minnesota is great investment.  While an attorney is not required to perform a real estate transaction in Minnesota, the right advice will save you money and avoid trouble in the future. Whether your transaction is large or small, commercial or residential, there are many pitfalls and traps for the unwary.  The attorneys at Klun Law Firm can review your purchase agreement to ensure there are no expensive surprises, make certain the agreement has favorable contract terms and check for title problems now, when it is much less expensive to do so. Our service costs for these transactions are generally minimal, but they could save you thousands of dollars and prevent future hassles.
 
Our real estate lawyers regularly provide advice and counsel in all types of real estate transactions, including:
 
Lake Shore, Vacant Land, & Road Development
Our diversified background provides us with the unique ability to resolve even the most complicated zoning, land use platting, and subdivision issues.  As city attorneys, we handle a broad array of land use issues on a daily basis for our municipal clients. This expertise is shared with our individual and business clients.  We are prepared to represent our individual and business clients' interests before governmental bodies, including city councils, planning commissions, and economic development authorities.

Residential, Country, & Cabin Purchases
For most individuals, the purchase of a home represents the largest investment they ever make.  Whether it is a "starter" home in Ely, a country home Duluth, or a cabin on Lake Vermilion, protecting your investment is our primary concern.  Each lawyer at Klun Law Firm strives to take the worry and anxiety out of buying or selling a home. We will review your listing agreement and purchase agreements to ensure your real estate purchase or sale is as smooth and obstacle-free as possible.
 
Why involve a lawyer in a residential transaction? 
 
1.    The large amount of money involved in the transaction.  A house is one of the most expensive items most people will buy.
 
2.    The high degree of complexity involved in the transaction.  Buyer and sellers often feel confused and unsure of their rights and obligations. Current real estate purchase agreement can be 20 pages or more.
 
3.    The transaction generally requires four separate contracts.  The documents include: a listing contract between the client and real estate broker, a purchase agreement, a mortgage between the client and lender, and title insurance between the client and the title insurer.
 
4.    The transaction is emotionally draining.  The event of selling a house is often referred to as one of the most "stressful" times in a person's life.
 
 
Commercial & Business Development
We work with land developers, surveyors, building contractors, real estate agents and small businesses on property purchases, sales, and leasing contracts. We regularly review and draft agreements involving retail buildings, office buildings, manufacturing facilities, land with development potential, and the construction of commercial buildings.
