Since 2008, Jason Van Hemert and Van Hemert Law has helped homeowners buy and sell homes of every type, at every price point, in the most cost effective way possible.
Beyond buying and selling homes, we’ve lowered our clients’ taxes, scaled-down their interest rates, reduced their principal, and allowed them to extend the term of their loan when circumstances, often outside of their control, impaired their ability to pay. We’ve saved those homes; their nest eggs.
When leaving their home was the best or only option, we’ve helped them do so gracefully and with dignity, without adding the insult of lingering debt to the injury they endured when leaving their home behind.
We’ve partnered with some of the best attorneys in their fields to defend landmark appellate decisions, ensure that our licensed real estate services are done honestly and that homeowners receive due process in court.
Our Mission
Van Hemert Law remains committed to provided exceptional legal service to those seeking to buy or sell property, while remaining committed to preserving the rights and abilities of those homeowner to remain in those homes should the worse happen.
