Real estate law is the set of statutes, contract doctrines, and recorded-property rules that govern how Texas property is bought, sold, leased, and financed. Those rules control how purchase contracts allocate risk, how deeds and liens affect marketable title, how disclosure duties are handled, and how recorded restrictions such as easements, deed restrictions, and HOA covenants can limit use, development, and resale value.

 

Residential transactions often move on short timelines, yet a misdrafted provision or an overlooked title issue can impose long-term cost. Purchase agreements set inspection and option rights, repair and credit terms, closing conditions, default remedies, and the sequence of performance. The Fort Worth real estate attorneys at Roquemore Skierski PLLC assist with contract review and drafting, title-driven transaction problems, entity structuring for residential investment ownership, and dispute strategy when a deal starts to fail.

Commercial Real Estate Transactions and Litigation

Roquemore Skierski PLLC advises Fort Worth-area businesses, investors, and developers on commercial real estate matters that include acquisitions and dispositions, leasing, financing coordination, and ownership structuring for entities and joint ventures. When a dispute develops, the firm represents owners, buyers, developers, and other stakeholders in litigation involving purchase and sale agreements, leases and guaranties, and construction-related disputes that affect commercial properties and project economics.

Residential Purchases and Sales

Roquemore Skierski PLLC represents buyers, sellers, investors, and property owners in residential acquisitions and dispositions across the Fort Worth area. Engagements commonly include:

 

  • Reviewing and negotiating residential purchase and sale agreements
  • Drafting transaction-specific provisions
  • Coordinating contract performance
  • Preparing additional documentation tied to post-close agreements or residential leases

Title And Closing Support

Title is the legal record of ownership, and title insurance is issued at closing to protect against certain ownership defects reflected in public records. In many transactions, the title company provides a title commitment that identifies conditions to closing and lists exceptions the policy will not cover. Commitments that reveal liens, easements, restrictive covenants, boundary issues, or recording inconsistencies can delay closing, change financing terms, or restrict the intended use of the property.

 

The Fort Worth residential real estate attorneys at Roquemore Skierski PLLC work with clients and title companies to identify the practical and legal impact of those items, obtain and analyze the underlying instruments, and pursue curative steps that allow the transaction to close on terms that match the deal.

Residential Leasing and Landlord Support

Residential leasing is a primary revenue driver for many Fort Worth-area owners and investors, and the lease sets the operating rules for the property. A workable lease defines rent and late-charge structure, maintenance and repair allocation, default procedures, renewal terms, and limits on assignment or subleasing, while also creating an enforcement framework when performance problems affect cash flow or property condition.

 

Roquemore Skierski PLLC assists landlords and residential investors with lease drafting, lease review, renewals, and modifications intended to reduce avoidable disputes and support enforcement when a default occurs.

Negotiating Ownership Structure for Investors

Residential properties are often held through family arrangements, partner investments, or entity structures used to manage liability, tax planning, and decision-making authority. When the ownership record and governing documents do not match the parties’ expectations, disputes over repairs, refinancing, rental strategy, and sale timing can become difficult to resolve.

 

Roquemore Skierski PLLC assists with entity formation and ownership documentation that fits the investment plan, including operating agreements that address control rights, ownership allocations, capital contributions, transfer restrictions, and dispute-resolution mechanisms.

Construction Defect Litigation Involving Residential Properties

Defects can arise in new construction, additions, remodels, and major repair work, even when the contract documents appear thorough. Common defect patterns include water intrusion, building envelope failures, foundation movement, structural deficiencies, and workmanship problems that require extensive repair. Construction disputes frequently involve multiple participants, including builders, general contractors, subcontractors, designers, and suppliers, and responsibility can turn on contract scope, warranty terms, and project documentation.

 

Roquemore Skierski PLLC handles residential and commercial construction defect litigation by developing a clear factual record, analyzing applicable contracts and warranties, assessing causation and repair scope, and pursuing outcomes that can include negotiated repairs, cost recovery, or defense against overstated or unsupported claims.
