In addition to being one of the largest financial transactions most people will ever take part in, buying or selling a home is also an extremely complex legal process with a wide array of stakeholders. While real estate agents and brokers have the training and tools to help consumers find properties or locate buyers, many situations require the detailed insight of a skilled residential real estate attorney.

When Buyers May Need Legal Representation

Many states actually require buyers to hire a residential real estate attorney to perform some vital functions, such as title searches and mortgage document reviews. However, there are many other situations in which buyers may want to rely on a residential real estate attorney's expertise. For example, those purchasing properties in another state, anyone considering a house that may have serious structural issues, or buyers searching for real estate in areas prone to floods or other adverse conditions stand to benefit from the guidance of a lawyer.

When Sellers May Need Legal Representation

Those listing homes for sale will also benefit from hiring a residential real estate attorney. Owners selling distressed properties may seek a lawyer to ensure they are indemnified against lawsuits and claims of bad faith, while those selling a home as a result of a divorce may want to protect themselves against further legal problems later. If you are selling real estate as an executor, an attorney can manage the process for you and ensure every step is completed properly.
