Raymond J. Kane

Expert guidance on a complex commercial property acquisition

I engaged Raymond Kane to assist with the acquisition of a multi-tenant retail property in Houston, a transaction that involved navigating complex title issues and structuring the financing. His 13 years of focused real estate law experience, particularly in the Texas market, were immediately evident. He demonstrated a deep understanding of the nuances in commercial real estate contracts and was adept at explaining the implications of various clauses in clear, practical terms. His background in securitization and structured finance proved invaluable when we explored different financing options, and he helped us structure the deal to be as advantageous as possible. While his expertise is top-tier and his client-centered approach made us feel well-represented, there were a couple of instances where response times to non-urgent emails stretched longer than expected, which slightly impacted our internal timeline planning. That said, the final outcome was excellent. The deal closed smoothly, and his proactive identification of potential zoning hurdles saved us significant future headaches. His recognition in real estate law is well-deserved, and I would confidently recommend him for sophisticated commercial real estate matters.
