Real Estate Attorneys Serving North Dakota, South Dakota & Minnesota

Real estate transactions often represent one of the largest financial investments a person or business will make—whether it's leasing commercial space, purchasing farmland, buying a home, or developing property. Having a trusted legal advisor can help protect that investment from the beginning.



At Dwyer Law Office PLLC, our real estate attorneys assist individuals, businesses, developers, landowners, lenders, and public entities with a wide range of real estate law matters throughout North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota. We understand that every property and every transaction is unique, and we provide practical legal guidance tailored to each client's goals.

Real Estate Disputes

Whether you are buying or selling real estate, working with an experienced real estate attorney can help ensure contracts are properly drafted, complete, and tailored to your transaction.

Understanding the legal language, obligations, and long-term implications of a real estate contract requires careful review. If a dispute arises, having knowledgeable legal counsel can make a significant difference in protecting your rights and resolving the matter efficiently.

Our attorneys have extensive experience helping clients navigate real estate disputes, contract issues, and property-related litigation.

Lease Agreements

Our team has extensive experience negotiating, drafting, reviewing, and litigating a variety of lease agreements, including:

• Residential leases
• Commercial leases
• Industrial leases
• Agricultural leases

Whether you're a landlord or tenant, a carefully prepared lease agreement can help clarify expectations and reduce the likelihood of future disputes.

Real Estate Purchases & Sales

Real estate transactions in North Dakota and Minnesota involve numerous legal requirements that can affect both buyers and sellers.

Without experienced legal guidance, issues involving purchase agreements, financing, title, inspections, deadlines, or closing documents can create costly problems later.

Dwyer Law Office represents clients in real estate purchases and sales, helping review contracts, negotiate terms, and guide transactions from initial agreement through closing.

Title Examinations

A thorough title examination is an important part of nearly every real estate transaction.

Our attorneys perform detailed title reviews and prepare written title opinions to identify potential issues before they become costly problems. Property history can reveal liens, easements, ownership disputes, or other title defects that should be addressed before a transaction is completed.

If title issues are discovered, we assist clients in resolving those matters so buyers and sellers can move forward with greater confidence.

Additional Real Estate Services

In addition to transactions, our real estate practice includes:

• Land Use Regulation & Zoning
• Eminent Domain
• Evictions
