The simple answer is, YOU NEED YOUR OWN LAWYER! Many people rely on Real Estate Agents to handle complicated legal issues regarding the sale and purchase of real estate. Remember, the Real Estate Agent works for the Seller, not you. The single most important document in any real estate transaction is the Purchase Agreement. This is usually drafted by the Seller’s Agent. In our practice we regularly untangle complicated real estate transfer mistakes that occurred years earlier. Most of these could have been avoided had a qualified attorney been involved from the beginning. Our legal assistance could avoid costly mistakes and save you thousands of dollars in the long run.
