3 Things That A Real Estate Attorney Can Do For You When You're Purchasing A Home

14 November 2016 by Kenneth Pierce

Purchasing a home is a really big deal, and it is something that you shouldn't go into blindly. While your realtor is going to help you find a home that you would like to purchase, a real estate attorney will be able to help you with the buying process. This article will discuss 3 things that a real estate attorney can do for you when you're purchasing a home. 

Help You To Fully Understand The Purchase Process

Since the process of purchasing a property can be quite intricate and multifaceted, it can be incredibly important to have a real estate attorney there to help you understand the entire process. They will explain the real estate purchase contract to you, which is the agreement between you and the current property owner. They will tell you how the process works, how to have the title of the property transferred into your name, and why this is so important. Since this contract includes all of the selling information and is completely binding once signed, it is necessary to understand all of the different aspects of this contract.

Thoroughly Inspect The Property That You Want To Purchase

In order to make sure that purchasing the property goes smoothly for you, the real estate attorney is going to check to ensure that nothing is wrong with the property in terms of legal matters. This will include things like liens on the property that you would have to pay for and/or otherwise take care of if you were to purchase it, covenants or restrictions on the use of the property, and/or an easement that would allow another land owner to enter or use your property without your given consent. If there is anything like this on your property, your attorney will find out about it and will take care of the issue before you purchase it. 

Come With You To The Closing 

Your real estate attorney is also going to be there with you when you go to close on your property. During this process, they will look over all of the legal documents that you are signing to ensure that they have all been typed up properly and contain the correct information. This can help to ensure that all of the information is 100% accurate and that you aren't going to have to worry about any discrepancies with purchase price, closing costs, property condition, etc., as you are signing all of the paper work.
