Residential Transactions and Litigation
The process of buying or selling a luxury home is complicated. One million
dollars or more are changing hands, documents which impose substantial
obligations are executed, and local state and federal requirements must be
fulfilled.
At the O’Leary Law Firm, John J. O’Leary prides
himself in bringing the same care and individual
attention to the sale or purchase of high-end
personal residences, as he does with his commercial
clients. This fact has made him a frequent referral
choice for lawyers in firms who cannot economically
provide representation to their clients on the sale
or purchase of their high-end personal residences.
Whether his clients are selling an estate on
Chicago’s exclusive North Shore, or purchasing a
newly constructed luxury condominium, John takes
pride in attending to the intricate details,
answering questions and keeping his clients
informed.
