FAQs About Real Estate Lawyers
What Do Real Estate Attorneys Do For Buyers And Sellers?
Lawyers who specialize in real estate work to ensure that property transfers are being done so according to the law. For buyers, that means making sure that any offers made are valid. For sellers, attorneys will assist in negotiating sales terms and contracts. Whether you’re a buyer or a seller, a lawyer will be acting to represent your best interests, providing legal advice, helping with matters pertaining to mortgages, and reviewing any documentation as needed.
Who Does A Real Estate Attorney Represent?
Real estate lawyers can represent buyers or sellers, though not simultaneously in the same case, as that can lead to a conflict of interest. Separate lawyers should be used for each party to ensure the best possible outcome.
How Do You Choose A Real Estate Attorney?
The best real estate lawyer for your unique situation will depend on your circumstances, though many opt for attorneys based on advice from agents or real estate firms, or recommendations from friends or family members.
