Real Estate Law
Responsive Legal Support for Buyers, Sellers, Developers, and Property Owners.
Real estate transactions are some of the largest and most personal investments people make. At Skinner Law Office, we guide clients through every stage of the process—whether you’re purchasing your first home, selling farmland, or developing a commercial property. We represent individuals, families, and businesses across eastern Polk and western Jasper Counties with straightforward, results-oriented counsel that protects your investment and helps you move forward with confidence.
Residential Real Estate Transactions
We assist buyers and sellers with drafting, reviewing, and negotiating purchase agreements; resolving title issues; coordinating closings; and ensuring compliance with Iowa real estate laws. Our team works closely with lenders, agents, and title companies to streamline the process.
Commercial Property & Development
From vacant lots to large-scale developments, we advise property owners, builders, and businesses on zoning, permitting, easements, and transactional matters. We’re especially familiar with the needs of local developers in and around the Altoona area.
Land Use, Zoning & Subdivision
We represent clients before municipal boards and zoning authorities, helping navigate land use regulations, rezoning requests, variances, and subdivision planning.
Real Estate Disputes
We handle real estate litigation related to contract disputes, boundary lines, easements, co-ownership disagreements, and quiet title actions. Our attorneys combine negotiation skill with litigation experience to resolve disputes efficiently.
Landlord/Tenant Matters
We counsel landlords on lease drafting, enforcement, evictions, and property management concerns. Our focus is on protecting your rights and helping you stay in compliance with state laws.
