Get To Know Jeff Laird

Jeff grew up in Beaumont, Texas, graduating in 1984 from West Brook High School. He then attended Lamar University in Beaumont, obtaining a Bachelor of Science in Political Science and a minor in History in 1987. Following his lifelong dream of becoming a lawyer, he attended St. Mary’s University School of Law, graduating in 1991.

Following 12 years as a prosecutor in Harris County, Texas, Jeff shifted his practice to transactional real estate.  Over the next 20+ years, both as the owner of a title company fee office and an attorney representing buyers, sellers, builders, investors and lenders in both residential and commercial transactions, Jeff has worked on some of the toughest real estate issues. 

Jeff is known as a problem-solver who can devise creative solutions to the most difficult real estate problems.  From properties that have been passed down through generations without documentation, property line issues, creditor issues, probate issues and family disputes, Jeff has worked with the parties involved to craft a resolution.   

The extensive number of transactions Jeff has handled have provided him with vast insight into the areas of entity formation and estate planning – and how short cuts and shortcomings in those documents can result in delay and frustration in real estate transactions,  even resulting in unintended consequences.
