Houston Real Estate Lawyer

Real estate transactions—whether residential or commercial—represent major financial decisions. At Prophet Law Group, we provide comprehensive legal guidance to buyers, sellers, investors, and developers across Houston and the surrounding areas. Our services cover the full spectrum of real estate transactions, including:

​

• Single-family homes and condominiums

• Multi-family residential properties

• Retail, office, and industrial properties

• Land acquisitions and sales

• Mixed-use and development projects

 

Our attorneys handle contract drafting and review, negotiate favorable terms, perform due diligence, and coordinate with title companies and lenders to ensure a seamless closing process. We proactively identify and resolve potential issues—such as title defects, financing concerns, or environmental risks—before they become costly problems. Whether you’re purchasing your first home, selling an investment property, or developing a commercial site, Prophet Law Group helps protect your interests from start to finish.

When real estate disputes arise, they can quickly escalate—delaying projects, threatening property rights, and putting significant investments at risk. Prophet Law Group represents property owners, developers, landlords, tenants, and real estate investors in a wide range of litigation matters, including:

​

• Breach of real estate contracts or purchase agreements

• Title disputes and ownership challenges

• Boundary and easement disagreements

• Construction defects and contractor disputes

• Landlord-tenant conflicts, including eviction proceedings

• Failure to disclose property defects (residential and commercial sales)

 

Our goal is to resolve disputes efficiently—whether through negotiation, mediation, or litigation in court. We tailor our approach based on your goals: minimizing financial exposure, protecting property rights, or enforcing contract terms.

Houston’s unique lack of formal zoning laws doesn’t mean there are no land use restrictions. Property development and land use in the Houston area often involve navigating:

​

• Municipal code regulations

• Deed restrictions and HOA covenants

• Variance applications and special use permits

• Plat approvals and subdivision regulations

• Environmental and floodplain development rules

• Planning commission hearings and city council approvals

 

Whether you’re a developer, property owner, or investor, Prophet Law Group helps you understand how local ordinances, land use codes, and municipal approval processes affect your project. We work with city planning departments, zoning boards, and regulatory agencies to help clients secure necessary permits, variances, and approvals while staying compliant with all applicable laws. If your project faces opposition, we can advocate on your behalf in administrative hearings or court.

Clear title is essential for any real estate transaction to proceed smoothly. Unfortunately, title defects and ownership disputes are common in both residential and commercial real estate. At Prophet Law Group, we help Houston clients resolve title issues through:

​

• Quiet title actions (clearing ownership disputes)

• Boundary line disputes

• Easement and right-of-way conflicts

• Liens, encumbrances, or clouded title issues

• Adverse possession claims

 

We work closely with title companies, surveyors, and property records to investigate and resolve complex title defects. Whether you’re buying, selling, or defending your property rights, our firm provides the legal tools needed to establish and protect clear ownership.

Commercial lease agreements often involve complex terms with long-term business implications. At Prophet Law Group, we draft, review, and negotiate commercial leases for both property owners and tenants across the Greater Houston area. Our services cover:

​

• Office, retail, and industrial space leases

• Triple-net (NNN) leases and modified gross leases

• Build-to-suit agreements and ground leases

• Lease amendments, extensions, and early termination agreements

• Assignment and subletting rights

 

In addition to transactional work, we represent clients in landlord-tenant disputes, including:

​

• Breach of lease terms

• Nonpayment of rent and eviction proceedings

• Property damage claims

• Security deposit disputes

• Tenant default remedies and landlord enforcement rights

 

Our goal is to protect your financial interests—whether that means ensuring favorable lease terms up front or resolving disputes quickly to avoid business disruption.
