Advice for Buyers and Sellers from The Law Offices of James J. Caruolo.
For many people, just the thought of moving can fill them with dread. That’s because along with the stress of hiring a real estate agent, selling your home, finding a new home, packing and hiring the right movers comes the added stress of lots of legal paperwork.
The right time to find a good real estate attorney is before you maneuver through the buying and selling process. Actually it is a great idea to hire your attorney prior to signing your Purchase & Sales Agreement so it can be reviewed to make sure it is written to protect your best interests. A good real estate attorney will advise you whether to add an addendum or contingency that might be beneficial to your unique circumstances.
The right real estate attorney will help ease your stress and keep the process moving for you.
Some states require you to hire a real estate attorney, and a good mortgage lender will actually advise you to hire a real estate attorney to keep your documentation accurate and organized.
