Real property is generally defined as land and the things permanently attached to the land. Things that are permanently attached to the land, also can be referred to as improvements, include homes, garages, and buildings. Substances that are beneath the land (such as gas, oil, minerals) are also considered permanently attached. Other items which can be attached to the land, such as mobile homes and tool sheds, are not considered to be real property.

With the development of private property ownership, real estate has become a major area of business. Purchasing real estate requires a significant investment, and each parcel of land has unique characteristics, so the real estate industry has evolved into several distinct fields. Specialists are often called on to valuate real estate and facilitate transactions.

Whether it's your first home purchase or your fourth, whether you've found a sleek city condo in move-in condition or an adorable but neglected Victorian with great potential, turn to the Law Offices of David P. Ginzberg to make sure that the transaction goes through and that you land the home of your dreams. But residential real estate is, in fact, only a small part of the real estate field.

There is a myriad of federal, state, county and local laws which restrict what you can do with the real property that you own. Enforcement of these laws typically resides with various governmental agencies which are responsible for keeping you in compliance with these laws. The three most common restrictions imposed by government are:

(1) Zoning - restriction on the use of the property as to residential, industrial, agricultural, or commercial purposes are very common. The size and height of improvements attached to the property are likewise subject to restriction.

(2) Environmental Hazards - what materials can be stored on the real property as well as who is responsible for removing environmental hazards from real property (such as asbestos, lead paint, petro-chemicals, radon and toxic wastes) are government regulated.

(3) Public Easement and Right of Way - a portion of the real property may have to be left open for others to use. Easements and right of way are used to allow access to other property, to provide for roads and sidewalks, and to enable electric/gas/telephone/sewer lines to be installed.

Violation of government law can result in fines, penalties, injunctions and even criminal prosecution resulting in you being sent to prison.

Real estate transactions involve hospitals, schools, hotels, and resorts, shopping centers, single family homes, multifamily housing developments, farms, churches, parking lots, and even coal mines. Real estate law concerns every aspect of commercial, industrial, and residential transactions and investments. It involves issues related to the purchase and sale of property, including financing and development; construction contracts; securitized real estate investments; property management and leasing; environmental compliance; and litigation relating to those areas. Real estate lawyers provide their clients with advice concerning all of these matters. They also help their clients navigate through the myriad governmental zoning restrictions and land use regulations necessary in order to move forward with a real estate project.

Real estate lawyers may be called on to represent clients before state and county commissions, city councils, community organizations, or in state or federal court. While some real estate lawyers specialize in litigation involving contractual or regulatory issues, many specialize in real estate transactions or land use. Those who specialize in real estate transactions advise their clients on tax issues, financing issues, and even environmental issues concerning the transaction in question. Attorneys who specialize in land use often focus on the regulatory aspects of real estate projects. They must be familiar with the federal, state, and local regulations that may affect a particular project. They often use their finely developed negotiation skills to negotiate modifications to the project in exchange for regulatory approval. In some cases regulatory disputes are litigated, in which case the land use attorney may represent either the regulating body or the regulating entity.
