Real Estate

A lender’s certainty in getting paid is most-commonly secured by an interest in the one asset we cannot make more of: real estate. Mike is currently the Chair of the American Bar Association’s Real Estate Finance Subcommittee, which is a part of the ABA Business Law Section’s Commercial Finance Committee. In this role, Mike hosts and participates in continuing legal education seminars and other presentations concerning real estate finance issues. He is also well-versed in drafting and recording most recordable and non-recordable instruments evidencing land use and encumbrances on title in Middle Tennessee jurisdictions, including commercial leases (including retail, office, restaurant and industrial); master deeds; declarations (such as of covenants, conditions and restrictions); easements; conveyances; deeds of trust; consensual and non-consensual lien documentation; subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements; leasehold easements; lease guaranties; and estoppel letters and estoppel certificates.
