Real Estate

Dedicated services for hopeful and distressed homeowners

The New Jersey real estate market strongly reflects what’s been happening nationally:  foreclosures up, prices down, mortgage rates low, but credit tight. While there are many opportunities, there are plenty of pitfalls. If you’re looking to buy, sell, lease or rent residential property in Middlesex, Union, Somerset and Morris counties, you can count on the Law Office of Michael P. Otto for reliable legal assistance. For more than 23 years Mr. Otto has delivered reliable advice to a variety of clients from first-time homebuyers to multi-unit landlords. Our firm is widely recognized as:

  • Ethical — We appreciate your trust and always give you honest, candid assessments of your legal options.
  • Compassionate — As a family-oriented law firm, we understand how central your home is to your family and the emotional turmoil that occurs when that home is threatened.
  • Dedicated — Your real estate investment represents a long-term commitment; we do the hard work necessary to ensure you can enjoy security and peace of mind.
  • Experienced — Our years of representing homeowners have prepared us to anticipate the pitfalls of real estate transactions and financing. We’re prepared with viable solutions to fit numerous circumstances.

A real estate transaction is too great an investment to be made without absolute certainty about the condition of the property and all terms attached to your financing. Our firm has the depth of experience to ensure that you make an informed decision on every aspect of your purchase or sale of your residence.
