The Law Offices of Randall L. Perry PLLC has operated from its Winston-Salem office since 2006. The firm is at 1100 South Stratford Road, Suite 325C, Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27103, and can be reached at (336) 745-5276.
What the Firm Does
The practice is a boutique focused on real estate law. It does not handle criminal defense, personal injury, or family law. Every matter the firm accepts involves North Carolina real property, title, or related transactions. Since 2006, the firm has represented thousands of individuals and companies in real estate transactions across the state.
Practice Areas
Residential Real Estate
The firm represents buyers, sellers, and lenders in residential real estate transactions throughout North Carolina. A residential closing involves reviewing the purchase contract, conducting a title examination, resolving title defects, coordinating with lenders and other parties, and conducting the closing itself. The firm handles each of these steps.
For buyers, this includes reviewing the purchase agreement before signing, identifying title issues that could affect ownership after closing, and ensuring the transaction closes with clean title. For lenders, the firm issues title insurance and certifies title as part of the loan closing process.
Commercial Real Estate
Commercial transactions involve additional layers of complexity compared to residential closings: environmental reports, zoning compliance, tenant estoppel letters, rent rolls, and due diligence on the property’s current use and income. The firm handles commercial purchases, sales, and financing transactions for individuals and companies.
Land Development and Construction Financing
Randall Perry represents land developers and homebuilders in the acquisition, development, and financing of land for residential subdivisions and commercial projects. This work involves purchase agreements for raw land, subdivision plats, subdivision infrastructure agreements, and construction loan documentation.
Title Law
Title certification and title insurance are central to the firm’s practice. A title examination involves tracing the chain of ownership of a property through public records to identify any defects, liens, judgments, or encumbrances that could affect the buyer’s ownership. Where defects exist, the firm works to resolve them before closing. Title insurance protects buyers and lenders from losses caused by defects not discovered during the examination.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does North Carolina State Bar Board Certification mean for real estate clients?
The North Carolina State Bar certifies attorneys as specialists in specific practice areas through a formal process that includes a written examination, demonstrated substantial involvement in the specialty, and favorable peer reviews from other attorneys and judges. Randall Perry’s dual certification in both Commercial and Residential Real Property Law means he has been evaluated and certified in both categories. Fewer than 30 North Carolina attorneys hold this dual certification. For clients choosing a real estate attorney, board certification reflects a level of demonstrated specialty that general practice attorneys do not hold.
Does the firm handle transactions throughout North Carolina or only in Winston-Salem?
The firm handles North Carolina real estate transactions statewide. While the office is in Winston-Salem, title examination and closing work for North Carolina properties can be handled from any location. The firm represents buyers, sellers, lenders, and developers throughout the state.
What is the difference between a title examination and title insurance?
A title examination is the attorney’s review of public records to trace ownership and identify any defects, liens, or encumbrances affecting the property. Title insurance is a policy that protects against losses from title defects, including defects that were not discovered during the examination. In North Carolina, an attorney is required to certify title in connection with real estate transactions, making the attorney’s examination a legal requirement rather than an optional service.
Does the firm represent developers and homebuilders in addition to individual buyers and sellers?
Yes. Land acquisition, subdivision development, and construction financing are part of the firm’s commercial real estate practice. Developers and homebuilders who are acquiring raw land, subdividing it, and building residential or commercial projects engage the firm for the legal components of that process.
Has the firm been in operation continuously since 2006?
Yes. The Law Offices of Randall L. Perry PLLC was established in 2006 and has operated continuously since then. In that time, the firm has represented thousands of clients in North Carolina real estate transactions, and Randall Perry has held his dual board certification throughout that period.
