LEGAL HOTLINE
If you are not comfortable with the paperwork for your sale, or if you want legal advice before signing a contract, or you want assistance negotiating with buyers or their agents, a flat fee real estate attorney is a great way to go.
Why do you need an attorney to help you sell your home? Consider that your home sale transaction is rife with legal issues - including contract, property right, title and escrow matters, to name only a few. Also consider the limitations we and other brokers face:
• Real estate agents are NOT attorneys, and are NOT permitted to render legal advice. Doing so constitutes engaging in the unauthorized practice of law.
• By law, real estate agents are only allowed to fill-in the blanks of pre-printed forms that have been prepared by an attorney; they can’t draft legal agreements for others, including agreements to sell your home. Again, doing so may constitute the unauthorized practice of law.
• It is against
• If a legal issue arises, as they often do, real estate agents can’t help you and you will have to hire an attorney to solve the problem anyway.
So why not hire the attorney to help you from the start? You can avoid most legal issues before they begin, saving you substantial time and money.
