What does an attorney do in a residential real estate transaction?

If you are considering either buying or selling a home in New Jersey, it is essential to retain the services of an experienced real estate attorney. New Jersey requires that all real estate contracts undergo the three-day attorney review. During the attorney review process, the lawyer representing either party will look for any points of concern in the contract. The attorney wants to make sure that their clients’ best interests are represented and protected in the contract. Of course, a real estate attorney can assist clients during other parts of the real estate transaction.

For Buyers

The decision to buy a home is a very exciting and important one. Whether it is your first home purchase or your fifth, complications can arise and it is important to have the guidance of an experienced attorney protect your interests. The attorney can help you negotiate the costs of the purchase, the double closings, and making a FSBO purchase.

For Sellers

When you make the decision to sell a home, it is important that an attorney helps you make sure there are no liens against your house or problems with the title. If you are going through a short sale, you should also consult with an attorney.
