By listening to my clients’ wishes and according to sound legal practices, I negotiate and prepare contracts for the purchase and sale of residential and commercial real estate.  I work with clients to resolve problems that might arise in a land sale.   I review abstracts of title for the issuance of a title opinion or a Iowa Title Guaranty commitment.  I prepare deeds to residential and commercial real estate.   I represent property owners with property leases, farmers with rental contracts, developers with the creation and establishment of subdivision, re-zoning applications, easement and property disputes and other real estate matters.

I handle real estate in Iowa City, Coralville, North Liberty, Tiffin, and broader Johnson County, Linn County, Cedar County, and Washington County.

I am member of the Johnson County Title Standards Committee, the Real Estate Section of the Iowa State Bar Association, and I am a member of Iowa Title Guaranty. Contact Melvin O. Shaw today for your real estate law needs.
