Real Estate Law · Lombard, Illinois
Residential and commercial closings handled with care from contract to keys, so the details are covered before you sign.
Real estate in Lombard runs the full range — single-family homes in established neighborhoods, condos and townhomes, and commercial property along the Roosevelt Road and Yorktown corridors. Each type of transaction has its own legal considerations, and all of them benefit from having an attorney protecting your interests from contract to close. We represent Lombard buyers, sellers, and investors through the legal side of the deal, so what you negotiate is what you actually get.
Lombard is in DuPage County, so your deed records with the DuPage County Recorder and the closing follows DuPage practice.

For the full scope of what we cover, see our real estate practice. Our focus is a clean closing and a title you can count on.

Not every Lombard closing is the same. Buying a condo or townhome means dealing with an association — and that brings documents most buyers never think to scrutinize: the declaration and bylaws, the association’s financial health, pending special assessments, and rules that may restrict how you use or rent the property. A required disclosure package comes with these sales, and what is buried in it can cost you after closing. We review those documents as carefully as the contract itself.
Single-family and commercial transactions in Lombard carry their own issues — survey and title questions, easements, and for commercial deals, zoning and use along corridors like Roosevelt Road. Whatever the property type, the transaction still records with the DuPage County Recorder and is subject to the State of Illinois transfer tax. We tailor the review to the property in front of us, make sure attorney review and the contingencies protect you, and see the closing through so the deal funds and records cleanly.
From our Villa Park office, we serve Lombard residents and businesses across DuPage and Cook County.
Yes, Lombard closings are a routine part of our practice. Residential, commercial, and FSBO transactions. We work with all major Lombard-area title companies.
Residential closings are flat-fee, typically a few hundred dollars. Commercial deals are quoted based on size and complexity. We quote at consultation.
Ideally before signing the purchase contract, we can review terms before you’re bound. At the latest, immediately after contract acceptance so the 5-business-day attorney review period isn’t wasted.
Closings typically happen at title companies, not law offices. Most title companies are local to DuPage County. We attend with you.
Yes, we handle the full legal side of FSBO transactions. Contract drafting, disclosures, earnest money escrow, title coordination, and closing.
Association-governed properties come with documents that deserve real scrutiny: the declaration and bylaws, the association’s budget and reserves, any pending or planned special assessments, and use or rental restrictions. Illinois requires the seller to provide much of this, but buyers often sign without reading it. We review the association package alongside your contract so you understand the rules, the financial health of the association, and any costs coming down the line before you are committed.
Lombard is in DuPage County, so your deed and transfer documents record with the DuPage County Recorder. At closing we make sure the title is clear, the deed is correct, the prorations and payoff are right, and the transfer records properly — the steps that make your purchase final and your ownership secure. Getting the recording details right protects your title for as long as you own the property.
Whether you’re planning ahead or in the middle of an active matter, the first conversation is free.
