Buying
and selling a home can be a complex process that can take several weeks to
months to complete. Frequently buying a
home is one of the largest transactions we face in our personal lives – not a
step to be taken lightly!
Both
buyers and sellers can benefit from hiring an attorney to provide advice
throughout the transaction. An attorney
can assist buyers with many aspects of their purchase, including drafting or
reviewing an offer to purchase, negotiating counteroffers and amendments,
reviewing and negotiating real estate agency agreements, reviewing options for
holding title, and representing buyers at closing.
Furthermore,
an attorney can assist sellers with several aspects of their sale, including
drafting or reviewing a listing agreement with a real estate agent, reviewing
an offer to purchase, drafting a counteroffer if appropriate, assisting sellers
with satisfying any contingencies in the offer to purchase, drafting the appropriate
deed and any other documents necessary to close the transaction, and representing
sellers at closing.
Remember,
only a licensed attorney can provide legal advice in your real estate
transaction – closing agents, loan officers, and real estate agents
cannot.
