Why do I need a Real Estate Attorney?

Buying a home or any other piece of real estate could be one of the largest financial transactions of your life. As a result, you want to make sure that you understand what is being agreed to and that you are adequately protected. A real estate attorney can review your real estate contract and forms to make sure the contract has adequate protection.

In many states and most circumstances you can sell a home without a lawyer. We recommend a real estate lawyer for the following services:

* Acting as Escrow Agent to hold a down payment, binder, or earnest money deposit.
* Evaluating complicated offers from potential Buyers.
* Hosting and handling the Closing, or representing you if the Closing is to be handled by the lending institution's lawyer.
* Evaluating and filing Seller financed mortgages or Lease with Option to Purchase Agreements.
* Evaluating any other document that has to be filed with County or Court.
