A real estate agent is entirely different from a real estate lawyer. When you seek to buy or sell a house, an agent is there to help you through the process. An agent can tell sellers what their home is worth, list it for sale, and show it to potential purchasers. For buyers, an agent can help determine your budget, assist you in finding the home of your dreams, and help you make an offer.
A lawyer assists with the legal aspects of a real estate transaction. A real estate attorney ensures your legal interests in the transaction are well-protected. In many states, it is a requirement that an attorney performs all real estate transactions, while in other states, an attorney must either be present at the closing or certify the title. In some states, a lawyer’s presence is not required but is highly recommended, especially for more complex real estate transactions involving unusual contract aspects.
