WHY PAY MORE FOR LESS REPRESENTATION? Real estate agents, realtors, mortgage brokers, and title insurance companies are prohibited from providing clients with legal advice. Only your attorney is permitted by law to provide you with legal advice regarding your rights and responsibilities.
Do yourself a favor - hire a
qualified real estate attorney.
A real
estate lawyer pursues and protects the best interests of you, the client.
Regardless of which other players are involved in a home sale,
it is paramount for you to have a qualified and experienced real estate attorney
representing your interests. In any residential transaction, you need someone on
your team who has been through the process hundreds of times. An experienced
real estate attorney can anticipate problems and can react appropriately to
protect your best interest.
In a FSBO (For sale by owner) home sale transaction, typically neither
party has been through the process more than a few times. Obviously, whether you
are a first-time home buyer or selling your fifth home, it is valuable to have
access to the necessary forms and contracts provided by a real estate attorney.
More importantly, your real estate attorney can provide guidance on title
issues, hidden fees, contingency problems, and proposed solutions. Accession Law LLC would appreciate the opportunity to work with you, but
whether you hire us or another attorney, do yourself a favor, hire an
experienced real estate attorney.
