Our Real Estate Services

Real Estate Purchases and Sales

At The Law Offices of Gruber, Colabella, Thompson, Hiben & Montella, we understand that buying or selling property is one of the most significant financial decisions you will make–whether it’s your first home, a vacation property, or a large-scale commercial building. Our experienced real estate attorneys and skilled paralegals guide clients through every phase of the transaction to help avoid costly pitfalls and delays.

We assist with reviewing and negotiating contracts to ensure your rights and interests are fully protected, and we work closely with buyers and sellers to address issues such as title defects, lien clearances, and financing contingencies. We also help manage critical steps like home inspections and repair negotiations, ensuring that environmental hazards such as radon, asbestos, or underground oil tanks are identified and properly addressed before closing.

For clients involved in commercial transactions, we provide counsel on more complex matters, including lease agreements, financing structures, zoning compliance, and environmental due diligence. From drafting documents to facilitating smooth closings, we are committed to protecting your investment and ensuring a seamless transaction from start to finish.

Property Development and Land Use – Regulation and Zoning

Navigating New Jersey’s land use laws and zoning regulations can be challenging without experienced legal counsel. Our attorneys work alongside property owners, developers, builders, and business owners to turn development plans into reality while ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal regulations.

We represent clients before municipal planning and zoning boards to seek approvals for variances, site plans, and subdivisions, helping to resolve challenges such as setbacks, parking requirements, signage restrictions, or density limitations. Our team understands the unique hurdles posed by each municipality’s ordinances and has extensive experience crafting compelling applications to secure the necessary permissions.

In addition to regulatory approvals, we advise on easements, deed restrictions, environmental impact considerations, and utility access–critical components that can affect the long-term viability and profitability of a project. Whether you’re constructing a new residential community, expanding a commercial facility, or subdividing a property for investment purposes, we provide the legal insight and advocacy needed to move your project forward efficiently and successfully.
