Q: I Have submitted an offer on a home through an agent. However I’d like to have an real estate attorney to help
What are my options. What would the attorney be able to help with?
A: For a home purchase, an attorney could explain the contract terms, advise you on potential problems, and suggest the best way to minimize risk. It can be helpful to have an adviser who does not have any reason to rush through a transaction, and has seen enough to be able to point out the advantages and disadvantages of steps you can take now to avoid trouble later.
A: It's useful to have an attorney review the contract terms and help make sure you've done all your due diligence, make sure the other party's disclosures are complete, and preserve your rights along the way. Are you having any particular concerns with your agent or the seller? More details are necessary to provide a professional analysis of your issue. The best first step is an Initial Consultation with an Attorney such as myself. You can read more about me, my credentials, awards, honors, testimonials, and media appearances/ publications on my law practice website, www.AliEsq.com. I practice law in CA, NY, MA, WA, and DC in the following areas of law: Business & Contracts, Criminal Defense, Divorce & Child Custody, and Education Law.
