Real estate law is the body of Texas statutes, contract rules, and recorded-property principles that governs how property is purchased, sold, leased, and financed. Those rules determine how a contract allocates risk, what must be disclosed, how title is validated and insured, and how recorded burdens such as easements, deed restrictions, and HOA covenants can restrict use, renovation plans, and future resale value.

 

Residential deals often run on compressed schedules, particularly when financing, inspections, and repairs have to align before closing. The legal consequences of a missed deadline, an unclear contingency, or an unaddressed title exception can remain long after the move-in date. The McKinney real estate attorneys at Roquemore Skierski PLLC assist with contract analysis and drafting, title-related disputes and closing obstacles, entity structuring for residential investment ownership, and dispute strategy when transaction performance breaks down.

Commercial Real Estate Transactions and Litigation

Roquemore Skierski PLLC advises businesses, investors, and developers on commercial real estate transactions connected to the McKinney area, including acquisitions and dispositions, leasing, financing coordination, and entity structuring for ownership and joint ventures. When a commercial real estate conflict emerges, the firm represents owners, buyers, developers, and other parties in litigation involving purchase and sale agreements, leases and guaranties, and construction-related disputes that affect commercial properties and business operations.

Residential Purchases and Sales

Roquemore Skierski PLLC represents buyers, sellers, investors, and property owners in residential acquisitions and dispositions throughout the McKinney area. The work commonly includes:

 

  • 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 problems revealed by public records. In most transactions, the title company issues a title commitment, which identifies conditions that must be satisfied before closing and lists exceptions that the title policy will not cover. When the commitment includes liens, easements, restrictive covenants, survey inconsistencies, or recording defects, the closing timeline can slip, the lender may impose additional requirements, and the buyer’s intended use may become impractical.

 

The McKinney residential real estate attorneys at Roquemore Skierski PLLC work with clients and title companies to evaluate the title commitment, obtain and review the underlying instruments, and pursue curative steps designed to resolve issues efficiently and document the resolution correctly.

Residential Leasing and Landlord Support

Residential leasing is a recurring business activity for many McKinney-area owners and investors, and leases define the operating obligations that support rent collection and property preservation. A strong lease sets rent and payment mechanics, maintenance and repair allocations, default remedies, renewal terms, and restrictions on assignment and subleasing, while also creating an enforcement structure that functions when a tenant dispute arises.

 

Roquemore Skierski PLLC assists landlords and residential investors with lease drafting, lease review, renewals, and modifications intended to reduce the likelihood of avoidable conflict and support enforcement when defaults affect rent, access, or property condition.

Negotiating Ownership Structure for Investors

Residential properties are frequently held through family ownership, partner investment arrangements, or entity structures intended to manage liability and decision-making. When the ownership framework is informal or incomplete, disagreements over repairs, rental strategy, refinancing, and sale timing can escalate into litigation.

 

Roquemore Skierski PLLC assists with entity formation and ownership documentation aligned with the investment plan, including operating agreements that address authority, ownership splits, capital contributions, transfer restrictions, and dispute resolution procedures.

Construction Defect Litigation Involving Residential Properties

Defects can develop in new construction, additions, remodels, and major repairs, and they often appear as water intrusion, building envelope failures, foundation and structural issues, and other conditions that require significant corrective work. Construction defect disputes also tend to involve multiple participants, including builders, general contractors, subcontractors, designers, and suppliers, which complicates responsibility and damages allocation.

 

Roquemore Skierski PLLC handles construction defect litigation involving residential and commercial properties by building a clear factual record, evaluating relevant contracts and warranties, and pursuing outcomes that can include negotiated repairs, cost recovery, or defense against overstated claims.
