If the sheer sum of money in a real estate transaction isn't enough to give you pause, the complexity of the process should do the trick. With complicated laws, a plethora of stakeholders, and several professionals involved, having a dedicated real estate attorney working on your behalf can provide much-needed peace of mind.

Batavia, OH’s Swartz Law Office explains a few benefits of having legal representation any time you're buying or selling a home:

• Objectivity: Everyone from the agent to the seller has a personal stake in the outcome of a real estate transaction. However, it makes no difference to your attorney whether the sale goes through, so you can depend on them for objective advice that truly keeps your best interests in mind.
• Sound Legal Advice: Your real estate agent may have the most in-depth understanding of the local market, but only an attorney can explain the law and how it affects your interests. For example, your lawyer will be able to research the zoning laws and determine whether you'll be allowed to move forward with your plans for the property.
• Contract Review: Many agents and investors use standard contracts that may not be ideal for your specific situation. Every real estate attorney has reviewed numerous contracts and will identify problematic clauses and recommend modifications that work in your favor.

Over the course of 14 years, attorney Swartz has helped thousands of clients resolve their legal situations. Whether you're buying a home, inheriting property, or putting a house on the market, you can rely on this team for effective representation.
