We offer institutional knowledge and experience to facilitate an extensive array of real estate transactions. For example, a recent review of Webber & Thies client transactions showed – over a three year period – purchases and sales totaling approximately $100 million.

Our experienced attorneys are able and ready to assist purchasers, sellers, developers, borrowers, and lenders in the acquisition, financing, sale, development, and leasing of residential, commercial, industrial and multifamily properties. Among other things, we are regularly involved in complex land use issues related to farmland, including the negotiation of wind farm leases and oil and gas transactions. Regardless of the project, we are laser-focused on providing value to our clients, and will work to ensure that we protect your interests and achieve your goals with as little hassle as possible.
