How We Help Brainerd-Area Property Owners
From your first purchase agreement to a complex commercial deal, our attorneys will review the details, explain your risks, and help you move forward with confidence.
Residential Purchases & Sales
Buying or selling a home involves contracts, disclosures, financing, and deadlines. Our attorneys provide residential real estate counsel that helps Brainerd-area buyers and sellers understand what they are signing and avoid costly surprises.
Commercial Real Estate
Commercial transactions involve larger stakes and more complex documents. We advise Crow Wing County business owners and investors on commercial real estate purchases, sales, financing, and leases, protecting your investment from the first draft to the closing table.
Title Review, Deeds & Closings
Clear title is the foundation of any property transaction. We review title work, prepare and review deeds, and help resolve issues that can delay or derail a closing, so ownership of your Crow Wing County property is properly documented and protected.
Leases & Landlord-Tenant Matters
Whether you are a landlord or a tenant, a well-drafted lease and a clear understanding of your rights can prevent disputes. We help Brainerd-area property owners and tenants with lease drafting and review, and represent clients when disagreements arise.
Rural Land, Lake Property & Easements
Crow Wing County’s lakes and rural properties often come with easements, shoreland rules, access rights, and boundary questions that don’t come up in town. We help property owners review these issues before they buy and resolve them when they arise.
Contracts for Deed & Real Estate Disputes
Seller-financed sales such as a contract for deed, and disputes over purchase agreements or property rights, call for careful legal attention. Our attorneys help clients structure these arrangements properly and represent them in Crow Wing County District Court when a disagreement cannot be resolved out of court.

Brainerd Real Estate Law: Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an attorney to buy or sell a home in Minnesota?
You are not always required to have an attorney, but real estate contracts are legally binding and contain deadlines and conditions that are easy to miss. An attorney can review your documents and explain your obligations before you sign.
What is a contract for deed?
A contract for deed is a seller-financed arrangement in which the buyer makes payments to the seller over time and receives legal title after meeting the contract’s terms. Because these agreements carry particular risks for both sides, they are worth having an attorney review.
What does a title review do?
A title review checks the ownership history and records of a property for issues such as liens, easements, or errors that could affect your ownership. Catching problems before closing can save time and money.
Do I have to travel to St. Cloud to meet with an attorney?
No. We meet with Crow Wing County clients by phone or secure video conference, so you can get started from home. When your case requires a hearing or trial, we appear in person at the Crow Wing County Judicial Center in Brainerd.
Is the first consultation free?
Yes. Your initial consultation with Jeddeloh Snyder Stommes is free, and we can meet by phone or secure video conference so you don’t have to travel to our St. Cloud office.
