What is his role in home buying and selling?
Real Estate is a complex subject and knowing what needs to be done when buying and selling property can be advantageous to you. It is a specialized area of law and some lawyers are particularly well trained in the legal transactions of buying and selling real estate. Your lawyer knows the legal steps involved to make the transactions easier and smoother for you and to make sure your legal interests have been protected.
Your lawyer will:
- Search title
- Cooperate with your mortgage provider
- Handle your funds
- Register your transfer and mortgage
- Collect and create all the necessary documentation
- Keep you informed of the progress and
- Provide you with a complete Report upon the conclusion of the transaction.
In home buying and selling in general and most especially when selling a home privately or buying a home privately, make sure you retain a lawyer who is experienced in the practice of real estate.
Along with your real estate agent, he knows what to do to sell your home. He can take care of details, relieve you of stresses resulting from uncertainty and at closing, you drive away from or take possession of and enjoy your new home (as the case may be) with confidence that there are no loose ends.
