Our experienced legal team is here to guide you through the complexities of seller financing, ensuring your interests are protected every step of the way.

What is Seller Financing?
Seller financing, also known as owner financing, is an alternative to traditional bank loans. In this arrangement, the seller acts as the lender, allowing the buyer to make payments directly to them over time. This approach can open the door to homeownership for buyers who may face challenges qualifying for a conventional loan, while providing sellers with the opportunity to secure steady income and potentially sell their property more quickly.
Why Work With Us?
Seller financing involves unique legal and financial considerations. Without proper documentation and structuring, both parties risk financial and legal complications. The Law Offices of Daniel A. Hunt provides comprehensive legal services to:
- Draft and Review Agreements: We create or evaluate promissory notes, deeds of trust, and purchase agreements tailored to your specific situation.
- Ensure Compliance: We ensure your transaction complies with applicable federal, state, and local laws, including disclosure requirements and
- Dodd-Frank Act provisions.
- Mitigate Risks: We identify potential risks and help protect your interests, whether you are the buyer or the seller.
- Facilitate Negotiations: We provide clear guidance during negotiations to help both parties reach mutually beneficial terms.
- Handle Disputes: If disputes arise, our experienced litigators are ready to advocate for you.
Who Can Benefit From Seller Financing?
- Sellers: Seller financing can help you attract a larger pool of buyers, sell your property more quickly, and earn interest income. It is particularly advantageous for those selling investment properties or who want to spread capital gains over time.
- Buyers: For buyers with less-than-perfect credit or those seeking a more flexible path to homeownership, seller financing can be an excellent alternative to securing traditional financing.
