Legal Services Offered by Our On-Demand Long Beach Real Estate Attorneys
The Long Beach real estate attorneys & lawyers on UpCounsel help represent landlords, property management companies, condominium associations, and tenants on any issue relating to real estate purchases, leasing, rent increases or decreases, habitability issues, condo conversions, code violations, owner move-in situations, and more.
They also provide client service across residential and commercial real estate disputes ranging from specific performance of a purchase agreement to land use or zoning issues and construction defect litigation. Real estate agents are generally prohibited from attempting to provide legal counsel or to serve as your legal representative in any manner. Therefore, during the course of a property deal you (as the seller or the buyer) should have your interests represented by an experienced Long Beach real estate lawyer.
You should absolutely hire a real estate attorney before you sign any paperwork. If you have already started the process and did not understand every detail of the sales contract then you should hire an experienced real estate attorney found on UpCounsel. Especially if something in your contract doesn-t make sense or seems out of the ordinary. The smallest oversight or clause could end up costing you big time.

Assist with Buying & Selling Residential Real Estate
"I had the pleasure of working with Karen on the sale of my property, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. From the beginning, she went above and beyond her original scope - not only drafting the necessary contracts but also stepping in to do what was needed outside of the contract, while guiding me through the entire process as a first-time seller. She was incredibly thorough, detail-oriented, and responsive, always making sure I understood what needed to be done and why. Karen coordinated seamlessly with escrow and even brought in a transaction coordinator to support us, and her clear instructions gave me confidence at every step. I truly appreciated her professionalism, patience, and commitment to making sure the transaction was legally sound and smooth from start to finish. If you’re looking for an attorney who is both highly skilled and genuinely supportive, Karen is an outstanding choice."

"I was incredibly impressed with the work Brig did for my husband and I when we were executing a private sale of some real estate. Brig was cordial, quickly responsive, and always performed tasks in a timely manner. I especially appreciated the very clear and thorough explanations he provided to my questions. Not only do I highly recommend Brig, I wanted to engage him again on a different legal matter. Unfortunately for me, that matter isn't an area in which Brig specializes. Hopefully, I'll find an attorney who can provide an equally outstanding experience!"

Companies large and small can make major mistakes when planning for new space and negotiating the lease - these are the most common.

Conventional wisdom in the commercial real estate industry is to allow six to 12 months to complete a deal for less than 10,000 square feet and nine to 18 months for larger deals. The lead time is required for the various complicated steps in any business relocation - due diligence of possible locations, negotiation of the lease, planning and design of your new space with an architect and engineer, bi

What Is Preferred Return?
A preferred return—simply called pref—describes the claim on profits given to preferred investors in a project. The preferred investors will be the first to receive returns up to a certain percentage, generally 8 to 10 percent.

This type of return is most commonly used in real estate investment.
How Is the Preferred Return Calculated?
There are three main questions when it comes to calculating the preferred return:
- Is it compounded or non-compounded? Compounded means that the calculation of a preferred return periodic growth amount comes from the amount of invested capital plus all previously earned but unpaid amounts.
