JOSEPH SCROFANI JD - THE FOR SALE BY OWNER GUIDE

Would you like a lawyer?

Suppose you are in a state that uses lawyers instead of a title/ escrow company. Then, the following few paragraphs will fully explain why you need a lawyer. Having a lawyer to look out for your interests and help you navigate the legal jargon and all the required paperwork is essential. After all, when selling a house, there are many considerations. For instance, you might be wondering how much to list the home for or if you should sell it now or a year from now. All of these are questions that an attorney can help you figure out. However, it is also advisable to hire a real estate lawyer not just at the start of the sales process; you can also hire a lawyer near the closing phase of the transaction, which is often a better choice. That’s because, as a seller, you have much to lose should any unexpected legal issues arise during the sale. It is wise to consider the legal expenses of retaining a lawyer throughout the process. A lawyer should offer guidance and legal advice when dealing with the sale's legal aspects. The lawyer will help you navigate the legal end of things while at the same time ensuring that you are not breaking any state rules as you continue with the sale procedure. The attorney also helps you deal with the title company and the buyer’s lawyers, thus ensuring that the transaction proceeds smoothly. It is advisable to work with a local attorney since a local attorney will probably have already dealt with the title company at one time or another. This will ensure that there will be a better chance of the deal going through without a hitch simply because of the working relationship between the opposing attorneys and the relationship between your attorney and the title company.
