FAQs

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • Do I really need a lawyer for a real estate transaction?

    Absolutely. While it’s not mandatory in every state to have a lawyer, it’s highly recommended. Real estate transactions are complex, and having a lawyer ensures that your rights are protected, your responsibilities are clarified, and any potential legal issues are addressed before they become problems.

  • How does a lawyer help if the deal seems straightforward?

    Even the most straightforward deals can have underlying complexities. A lawyer can foresee potential problems and address them early on. Plus, they can ensure that the contract doesn’t contain any clauses that could unfavorably impact you later. They’re your safety net, making sure that what you’re agreeing to aligns with your understanding and expectations.

  • When should I involve a lawyer in my real estate transaction?

    Ideally, you should involve a lawyer as early as possible. Having a lawyer review the initial agreement or draft the contract can prevent issues down the line. They can also guide you through preliminary steps like title searches and securing financing. Essentially, the sooner you involve a lawyer, the smoother the process tends to be.
