Many real estate attorneys, and, how, some, harm the process/ deal (get in the way), while others, are, extremely valuable, to the successful process! I always, suggest, one choose a lawyer, who, specializes, in real estate law, so he is familiar with as many of the potential nuances, as possible, in this transaction period! Ideally, the individual, you choose, will protect your interests, but, be part of the solution, instead of, get, in the way, of the deal, by refusing to consider options, and alternatives, to achieve the objective. With, that in mind, this article will attempt to, briefly, consider, examine, review, and discuss, 5 things, you should demand, from the individual, you hire, to represent your interests (whether, buying or selling), because, for most of us, the value of their house, represents, their single - largest, financial asset.

1. 5 Things You Need From Your Real Estate Attorney!
Many real estate attorneys, and, how, some, harm the process/ deal (get in the way), while
others, are, extremely valuable, to the successful process! I always, suggest, one choose a
lawyer, who, specializes, in real estate law, so he is familiar with as many of the potential
nuances, as possible, in this transaction period! Ideally, the individual, you choose, will
protect your interests, but, be part of the solution, instead of, get, in the way, of the deal, by
refusing to consider options, and alternatives, to achieve the objective. With, that in mind,
this article will attempt to, briefly, consider, examine, review, and discuss, 5 things, you
should demand, from the individual, you hire, to represent your interests (whether, buying or
selling), because, for most of us, the value of their house, represents, their single - largest,
financial asset.
1. Effective listening:​ If, you are searching, for the right person, it makes sense, to ask for a
few recommendations, from people, who have been satisfied, by theirs! Briefly, interview, a
few attorneys, and observe, whether the individual, is willing to effectively listen, to you, in
order to better understand your true, personal needs, etc.
2. Hand -​ holding: There are, often, several stresses, and challenges, during the course of
the transaction period! Seek a lawyer, who is, not, only, technically, knowledgable, but, will
hold - your - hand, throughout the entire, transaction process. Wouldn't you, prefer, making
this period, the least, stressful, as possible?
3. Protect you, but not, get in the way: While, is in, an attorney's duty and responsibility, to
protect you, and your interests, in an ethical, honest way, the person, you choose, should
not, create challenges, which aren't helpful, and/ or, needed! Discuss, thoroughly, what you
seek and want, how much flexibility, you are willing to take, and, looks, to achieve these
things, without, screwing - up, a deal, you wish, to take!
4. Thorough explanation:​ There should be no question, and/ or, concern, you have, which
your attorney, won't attempt, to thoroughly, answer, and explain, to your satisfaction (not,
merely, his)! It should be his duty, to ensure, this process, goes, as smoothly, as possible!
5. Professionalism/ excellence:​ Don't accept good - enough! Demand (because you
deserve, and need), the highest degree of quality, professionalism, and true, excellence!
Carefully, choose the individual, who will best serve your interests, when selecting a real
estate attorney! Doing so, often, saves you time, effort, and unnecessary challenges!
