Ways in which an experienced Real Estate Attorney can help :
Contract Review
It all starts with the Contract. However, the average person really does not have much experience reading contracts in general, and real estate contracts in particular. If you do not know what the various parts of the real estate contract mean or don’t know their ramifications, you are playing with fire. Not knowing the meaning of the language in a contract means in essense that the person signing the contract does not know what they are signing. Who wants to take that risk?
Only an experienced Real Estate Attorney can know, based on their experience and expertise what the various parts of the contract mean and the consequences of each. Real Estate Contracts are generally given a time period for the contract to take effect. This time period is called the attorney review period and it usually lasts 3 days. It is critical for the protection of the parties to a real estate contract to get the contract interpreted during this review period for maximum protection. Without an attorney to review the contract and explain it to you, basically, the person signing the contract is opening themselves up to unknown situations that could put them at a disadvantage in the real estate transaction.
