I expect that when it comes time to sell my house, I'll hire a real estate attorney to make sure all the paperwork is in order, and I'll deal with the rest myself. I engaged an attorney when I bought my house, and she was super thorough.
- PaulDavisThe1st 3y agoI've sold 4 houses "by owner". I didn't even use an attorney for 3 of them - just a title/escrow service who take care of handling the deposit, filing the deeds after the funds transfer is complete etc.
- ejb999 3y agobuying a house, I would want an attorney - selling the house, I agree, no need for a realtor or attorney if you are willing to do a bit of work yourself.
- staticman2 3y agoWhere I live, the real estate agents association has model home sale contracts and it's not common or necessary for a buyer to have an attorney.
- SoftTalker 3y agoSame. It's all very standardized and the title/escrow company does it 10 times a day and will handle all the paperwork and filings.
- sct202 3y agoAttorneys are so ridiculously cheap compared to the realtors. In my area there are discount real estate attorneys that will do sales/purchases for $200, and the normal price is like $500 which is nothing compared to the real estate agents getting like $10k on an average home in the area.
