Residential Real Estate

Slidell Real Estate Lawyer

The residential real estate market has changed drastically since August of 2005. More home owners are selling their own properties. Lenders are more conservative in lending funds on devastated properties. U.S. Small Business Administration loans have offered assistance but we've all found it to be a harrowing experience.

Contact Fletcher W. Cochran, LLC / First Title Corp of St. Tammany, to arrange a consultation regarding our residential real estate services. Since 1973, real estate attorney Fletcher W. Cochran, LLC has facilitated communication and legal transactions for lenders and property owners.
