California Real Estate & Common Interest Development Law

Practical legal documents for projects that have to work after closing.

Little & Saputo focuses on common interest developments, DRE approvals, condominium conversions, governing-document updates, and the statutory framework that affects California communities.

01

Project Formation

CC&Rs, bylaws, easements, maintenance obligations, disclosure packages, and sales documents for new communities.

02

DRE Approvals

Review of and assistance with Public Report applications and DRE document packages for condominium, planned development, mixed-use, and conversion projects.

03

Existing Associations

Restated governing documents, election rules, architectural standards, solar rules, and practical updates to comply with current law.

Focused on documents, statutes, and long-term usability.

Real estate and common interest development work is document-heavy. A useful legal document must satisfy statutes, anticipate DRE review, explain responsibility, and remain understandable years after the developer leaves the project.
