With four decades of experience working across the real estate sector, Lissette Klaus leverages her background to assist investors and developers with affordable housing and historic tax credit transactions.
As part of her role, Lissette reviews title searches, title exceptions, legal descriptions, title commitments, title policies, surveys, plats, site plans, zoning documents, and judgment searches.
