When thinking about buying and selling a house, leasing an apartment, or becoming a landlord, they usually think about the real estate agent and the mortgage broker. They may even remember to call their insurance agent (for homeowners insurance and mortgage protection). But people often don’t realzie the need for a real estate attorney.

Buying or selling a home is often the largest single financial decision people make. It makes sense to have an attorney working for you , making sure that your interests are well represented at each step:

• Establishing title to the property
• Drafting and reviewing purchase and sales agreements
• Drafting and reviewing and closing documents
• Making sure all closing documents are executed and delivered correctly
• Making sure all proceeds are properly paid out and accounted for
• Advising on inspection issues
• Recommending financing options

It also makes sense to have an attorney who is not focused on completing a transaction and moving on to the next closing, but rather one who understands the significance of this decision.

“Real Estate Events” – buying, selling, moving – have a profound impact on family life. Choosing a real estate attorney with a practice geared toward the family will provide you and the people you love a lifetime of guidance.
