I should've written this much sooner. Kevin is a man of absolute character. He saw me and my friend Dan attempting to shovel out his stranded car on the access road. He came, on foot, with two shovels all the way from his firm down to the base of the road. He worked hard for the 45-60 minutes it took us to finally free the car, and was nothing short of polite and helpful the whole time. Although I don't (and hopefully wont) need legal help in the future, I hope anyone who does speaks to Kevin and his firm. I will vouch for his character, and selflessness. Thank you Kevin

Kevin is an absolutely amazing lawyer, but this is not why I’m writing this review. I’ve known him for almost 2 years and he’s helped me out greatly with my legal issues. But the real reason I’m writing this review is because Kevin is a great person. This morning I was driving to work and the roads were real slick and I ended up loosing control and drove into a snowbank. This was right down the street of the firm when Kevin happened to be heading into to work as well. He recognized my car and quickly grabbed two shovels. After nearly an hour of shoveling we were able to dig my car out of the snow. Kevin is an amazing person and someone you can depend on. Now I know for a fact that I will not be reaching out to anyone other than Kevin for legal assistance!

Recently closed on what I would consider a relatively complex land purchase. Justin and his team (Kevin & Jason) were absolutely on it. They were not only professional but were incredibly responsive. Justin had eagle eyes and caught some issues with my survey that easily could have been missed! He was also incredibly flexible with us as we were slow to respond due to conflicts with work/travel schedules on our end. We also appreciated their use of Closing Lock which make our closing process seamless! We were able to close while on a vacation abroad with no issues sending through our POA or funds. We plan to invest more around the mountain in the near future and will always use this team for our transactions!

I reached out to Mountain View Law PLLC for assistance with a landlord/tenant dispute (I was the tenant). I found the owner Kevin Gustafson, Esq. and paralegal Jason Tschida to be very conscientious, responsive, and helpful. They were there for me to provide assistance and reassurance when I was going through a very difficult time with my housing. I would definitely recommend their services.

FAQs on Real Estate Legal Services

The process begins with a review of the purchase and sale agreement, usually produced by a real estate agent. We then perform a review of the property's transaction history known as a title search to ensure there are no liens or disputes or other issues with the title. Once that is complete we draft the documents necessary to close the sale with the other side’s attorney. Finally we hold a closing where we review the documents and actually transfer the funds to make the purchase. Our attorneys at Mountain View Law oversee the entire transaction, ensuring compliance with Vermont laws and smooth handling from offer to closing.
Our expertise includes navigating zoning laws and land use regulations, which can be intensive in Vermont given our landmark land use law, Act 250. Whether you're developing property or facing restrictions, we provide strategic advice and representation before zoning boards and in negotiations with municipal bodies.
Title searching is crucial in real estate transactions as it details the property's history, revealing any potential issues with prior deeds or claims that could impact your ownership. Mountain View Law conducts comprehensive title searches to mitigate risks of future property disputes.
Yes, our attorneys are well-versed in both residential and commercial real estate matters. From drafting lease agreements to handling large-scale commercial acquisitions and sales, we tailor our services to meet your specific needs.
Earnest money acts as a good faith deposit from the buyer to the seller and is held in an escrow account until the closing. It's applied to the purchase price at closing. We ensure that all terms concerning earnest money are clearly outlined in the contract and strictly adhered to, protecting both parties involved.
Our attorneys are involved in every step of the closing process, from finalizing the purchase agreement to managing the exchange of funds. We address any last-minute negotiations and ensure that all legal documents are in order, facilitating a smooth transfer of ownership.
Protecting your rights during commercial lease negotiations involves understanding the terms and conditions of the lease agreement. Our attorneys review and negotiate leases to ensure favorable terms and prevent future legal issues, from rent clauses to termination rights.
Title insurance protects you from potential financial losses caused by defects in the title that were not discovered, or were undiscoverable during the initial title search. It covers various issues, such as unknown liens, disputes between prior owners, or documentation errors. Having title insurance ensures that your right to the property is defended against claims and legal fees.
