A seller came to us with a major obstacle—while under contract, it was discovered that the property being sold was landlocked, meaning it had no legal access to a public road. Without a solution, the deal was at risk of falling through, leaving both the seller and buyer in a tough spot.
Our team immediately took action, working closely with the seller and an adjacent property owner to negotiate a driveway easement. This agreement granted the necessary legal access to the landlocked property, resolving the issue efficiently and fairly for all parties involved.
By facilitating productive discussions and crafting a legally sound easement, we preserved the transaction and provided peace of mind to both the buyer and seller. What could have been a deal-breaking problem became a smooth resolution, thanks to our expertise and commitment to creative problem-solving.
At Shafritz & Dean, we go beyond routine closings—we eliminate hurdles and overcome obstacles to ensure successful outcomes. In this case, a simple yet crucial easement secured the sale, demonstrating why our tagline holds true: Everyone walks away happy.
