If you have considered buying or selling a home, it is always best to have a real estate lawyer assist you and your loved ones through the process. The right lawyer can review offers to ensure your rights are protected, and responsibilities are clearly defined, and no law violations are present for either party. Often title insurance companies and mortgage lenders require a Real Estate lawyer to certify the title is correct, check for liens against the property, and ensure a firm close date on the purchase of the house.

Here is what you can expect from your real estate lawyer.

Buying a Home

• A real estate lawyer with work to simplify terms of your mortgage, and when necessary work with your lender to modify them.
• When you receive your purchase contract, your lawyer will explain it in depth including how you gain access to the title of the property.

Selling a Home
