Vernon & Salmon Arm Real Estate Lawyers

People often describe their experiences with real estate lawyers as impersonal and lacking in direct communication. Given the enormity of what is at stake in a real estate transaction, this should never be the case.

At CM Lawyers, we strive to provide the opposite experience. When a new client comes to us with a real estate transaction, our professional real estate lawyers establish a connection with them so they can understand any concerns and priorities they have for their transaction. We are extremely hands-on with each transaction, reviewing every aspect of the file as the closing progresses. A real estate closing is a carefully choreographed undertaking and must be executed precisely to protect the client’s interests. To that end, we have developed a system that ensures nothing is left to chance.

Residential Real Estate

Attention to detail is key when buying or selling a home, condo or cabin. Even a seemingly minor missed detail can end up costing a party significantly in the future. CM Lawyers provides robust residential real estate services that minimize risk and help you seamlessly transition into your exciting new property.

Commercial Real Estate

Investing in commercial real estate helps a business enterprise grow but requires navigating a complex intersection of legal and financial considerations. From property acquisition and disposition to development and financing, we empower clients to make informed decisions that position their venture for success.

Selling Property

Selling property in B.C. is a significant undertaking, requiring an understanding of the local real estate market and related legal implications. We help with all stages of a real estate sale, including the initial property valuation, creating marketing strategies, negotiating optimal terms, and ensuring a smooth closing.

Purchasing Property

CM Lawyers understands the importance of safeguarding purchasers from issues that can cause last-minute complications before the transaction closes. We handle problems that arise during real estate purchases thoroughly and expeditiously, aiming to avoid potential disputes or delays.

Mortgages & Refinancing

Securing the right mortgage or refinancing option can help streamline your real estate transaction. Our real estate team supports clients through the mortgage process, including loan negotiation, documentation review, and ensuring compliance with B.C. regulations while optimizing your financing options.

Co-Ownership

Co-owning property with friends, family, or partners can be an exciting opportunity, but it is vital to have clear legal agreements in place. We assist with drafting comprehensive co-ownership agreements that outline ownership shares, responsibilities, decision-making processes, dispute resolution options, and more.

Title Review

Having a thorough understanding of your property’s title is vital for safeguarding against potential disputes, unnecessary restrictions on use, and other liabilities. Our tech-savvy real estate team has an innovative system for conveniently transferring information and examining titles and title insurance documents. With 50 years of combined experience, we have the skills to foresee and proactively mitigate complications before they arise.

Zoning & Subdivisions

Comprehending the ever-changing landscape of zoning and subdivision laws is essential for successful real estate development in British Columbia. CM Lawyers provides exceptional guidance through all aspects of this complex area of real estate law, including zoning applications, variance requests, subdivision proposals, and all related issues.

Foreign Ownership

Foreign or non-Canadian ownership is a challenging topic in British Columbia real estate law. We assist non-resident and local parties in transactions involving foreign stakeholders to protect our clients’ investments and ensure compliance with all relevant regulations.

Real Estate Litigation

Real estate disputes can be even more complex and costly than real estate transactions. The skilled real estate litigation lawyers at CM Lawyers are experienced in resolving a wide range of conflicts, including contract disagreements, purchase and sale issues, property damage claims, eviction proceedings, and boundary disputes. We are a compelling presence in the courtroom but also are talented negotiators, always seeking the most cost-effective and optimal outcome.
