What does a real estate attorney do and how can one help you?

Buying, selling, or refinancing a house is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll make in your life.   

You may want to save a little bit of money by closing the deal by yourself, but that is often a bad decision.   

There are many intricate details you need to know to successfully close your house deal, and making a mistake in the process can cost you a lot more money than the price of hiring a real estate attorney. 

There are some things in life that are worth paying for, and a real estate attorney is one of them.

 What a Real Estate Attorney Does

Depending on whether you're buying, selling, or refinancing a home, the responsibilities of a real estate attorney will vary slightly.  However, they all have the same goal in mind: to close your housing transaction properly and protect you.   

One of the most important things a real estate attorney does is review the contract.  They look for clauses that are unfavorable to you and make sure you meet all the requirements of the contract during the closing.   

After reviewing the contract, your real estate attorney does all the behind-the-scenes work like pulling title, communicating with banks and the other attorney, and prepares the paperwork for you to sign.   

Finally, your real estate attorney files the proper paperwork with the county or state to finalize the transfer of ownership.

You need expert knowledge and experience in order to complete a real estate deal.  Any misstep or error along the way, and you open yourself up to legal consequences. 

How a Real Estate Attorney Helps You 

First and foremost, the job of a real estate attorney is to protect you.   

Real estate attorneys are experts and know how to complete your real estate deal seamlessly.  In the unlikely event that there are issues with the deal, they step in and fix it.   

If the contract is breached by the other party, bank funding is slow, or the house isn't in the condition described in the contract, a real estate attorney fights for you and fixes the issue. 

They take care of all the behind-the-scenes paperwork and details, so you don't have any stress.
