Commercial Buyer & Seller Representation
More About Commercial Representation
Commercial Real Estate Requires a Higher Level of Care
Unlike residential transactions—where the property has one clear purpose—a home—commercial real estate is more complex. A buyer might intend to open a restaurant, office, warehouse, or retail store—but that doesn’t mean the property is zoned for that use or physically suited to support it. Restrictions, infrastructure, and municipal codes all play a role.
Our office provides experienced legal representation to commercial buyers and sellers who want peace of mind, clarity, and results. We frequently assist with contract negotiation, title insurance, due diligence review, and closing coordination.
What Makes Commercial Real Estate Different?
Zoning restrictions limit what types of businesses can operate at the site
Environmental, survey, and title concerns are more common and more costly compared with residential transactions
Due diligence periods often involve attorneys, inspectors, engineers, and lenders.
Our office can help fill out your bench of professionals.
Our Role in the Transaction
We can serve as both legal counsel and title agent allowing us to dramatically simplify the transaction by reducing the number of parties and improving communication. We:
Draft, negotiate, and revise commercial purchase contracts
Review zoning, survey, and inspection reports
Issue title insurance and act as the settlement agent
Coordinate with lenders, appraisers, and inspectors
Represent buyers or sellers throughout the transaction lifecycle
Simplifying the Process
Commercial transactions often involve multiple parties: buyer, seller, each party’s agent, a lender, attorneys for both sides, and the title company. By allowing Mangrove Title and Legal, PLLC to serve as both attorney and title agent, we streamline the process and help prevent miscommunications that delay or derail closing.
It’s Not About Adversaries — It’s About Closing the Deal
While buyers and sellers may be negotiating from different positions, the goal of all professionals involved in a commercial real estate transaction is usually the same: a successful transaction. Our job is to advocate for our client, manage legal risks, and help structure solutions—not escalate conflict.
We regularly coordinate with counsel for lenders, resolve title issues, and push transactions to close with coordinated communication. When a deal can’t be made, we help our clients walk away informed and protected—because real estate is a long-term commitment, and it’s better to get it right than get it rushed.
