For many of our oldest clients, Pacific Northwest real estate is where they built their wealth and where they plan to spend the next forty years. We’ve sat at every kind of closing table, from a corner lot to a multi-phase mixed-use development. The work is detail-heavy. Our job is to make sure detail-heavy doesn’t become a problem.
Talk to a real estate attorneyReal estate has been a foundation of Oseran Hahn's practice almost since the firm opened. We close acquisitions, paper leases, structure financings, and run 1031 exchanges. We stay involved long after the deed records, through tenant disputes, refis, and the next deal a few years down the road. Most of our clients are owners and developers who plan to hold Pacific Northwest property across decades, not quarters.
Buy-side and sell-side drafting for single assets and portfolios: LOIs, purchase and sale agreements, diligence coordination, and the closing binder.
Construction loans, permanent debt, acquisition financing, AIA owner-architect and owner-contractor agreements, and land-use / entitlement counsel for projects under development.
Declaration drafting, plat work, governing documents, and the early structural decisions that set a condominium community up for the long term.
Office, retail, industrial, ground, and mixed-use lease drafting and negotiation, with the renewals, amendments, and assignments that follow.
Access, utility, view, and reciprocal easements: drafting, recording, modification, and the cleanup that older parcels often need.
Boundary line adjustments, encroachment matters, quiet-title actions, and the survey-and-record work that resolves them cleanly.
Cross-border acquisition structures, FIRPTA withholding, treaty analysis, and the U.S. tax coordination foreign owners and family offices need.
Long-tenured real estate clients return for the same three reasons. None of them is the deal at hand. It’s the deal after it.
You meet the partner who will draft your closing documents. They’re the one who will pick up your call about the lease amendment two years from now.
Most real estate matters touch tax, estate planning, business, and sometimes litigation. We coordinate across the firm so you don’t pay four lawyers to talk to each other.
We’ve seen this market in five cycles. That matters when an LOI lands and the question is how much give the other side actually has.
A working conversation about the asset, the counterparty, the timeline, and the owner’s real goals. The deal follows the strategy, not the other way around.
Letter of intent or term sheet drafted to control the next ninety days, plus the entity structure that will hold the asset after closing.
Title, survey, environmental, lease, and financial review. Structured to surface real risk early and avoid late-stage re-trades.
Purchase agreement, leases, loan documents, and the ancillary schedules. Senior attorney drafting from the first version.
Funds flow, signature pages, recording, and the closing binder. Uneventful when the prior weeks have been thorough.
Working-capital trues, lease assignments, and the years of operational counsel that come after a clean closing.
We negotiate the purchase agreement, run title and lease diligence on the tenants in place, coordinate the financing, and close on schedule, with the operating agreement for the new ownership entity already in place.
We structure the joint venture between landowner and developer, secure the construction loan, and negotiate the GMP contract with the general contractor, with the legal questions that outlast the deal answered before ground breaks.
We re-paper a tired set of leases, clean up an easement issue from the original plat, and stage diligence materials so the buyer’s counsel finds what they need in week one, not week six.
Owner-side litigation that settles in mediation within four months. Tenant stays. Landlord recovers most of the abatement and emerges with a sharper disruption clause for the rest of the portfolio.
Structured the joint venture between landowner and developer, secured the construction loan, and negotiated the GMP contract with the general contractor. Project broke ground on schedule despite a mid-cycle change in jurisdictional review.
Negotiated the portfolio purchase agreement, coordinated parallel diligence across eight properties, and handled assumption financing on three of the loans. Closed within the contract’s ninety-day window.
Sold an aging office property and identified, diligenced, and acquired a stabilized apartment building within the 180-day window. Preserved the family’s deferred basis and reset their hold period for the next generation.
From signed LOI to closing, most commercial transactions run 60 to 120 days. Portfolio sales and complex financings take longer. The diligence window is usually the binding constraint, not the drafting.
Yes. We coordinate with the qualified intermediary, structure the replacement-property entity, and align the exchange with the owner’s estate plan. Forward, reverse, and improvement exchanges are all in our regular work.
Generally no, on the same deal. We can, with informed consent, represent multiple parties on related transactions where their interests are clearly aligned. We’ll be direct about it in the engagement letter.
Yes. A meaningful portion of our practice is cross-border, with clients holding U.S. real estate from Asia, Canada, Europe, and the Pacific Rim. We handle the FIRPTA, treaty, and structuring work that comes with it.
Our litigation team is in the same office, on the same client matters. If a transaction becomes a dispute (construction defect, lease default, broker matter), you don’t need to find new counsel.
Clean closings, careful drafting, and the steady counsel a long-held property deserves.
