Dagger Law recommends consulting with an experienced real estate attorney before entering into a real estate contract. Resolving some minor issues in the time leasing up to your closing is possible, but fixing every problem at the last second is not. Poorly worded contracts can have a negative and lasting impact on your future interests and could create costly legal issues down the road.

Are you looking to list your home as “For Sale by Owner” or FSBO?
While real estate agents can provide many valuable benefits when selling your home, or other real property, there are times when you may wish to avoid listing your home with an agent. For instance, if you have already identified a buyer or want to sell your home through an alternate means. A land contract, lease with the option to purchase, or seller financing are alternative ways to sell your home. Using a Real Estate Lawyer can be a cheaper way to sell your home while meeting all the legal requirements. Real estate attorneys can provide all of the legal services you will need. These services include preparing the purchase contract, providing you with the property disclosure forms required by law, conducting a title search, drafting and reviewing the closing documents, and conducting the closing. Real estate lawyers are incredibly helpful if you choose to sell your home in a manner other than an absolute sales transaction. Attorneys handle all of the legal representation and document preparation at a fraction of the price you would pay a real estate agent, making it very affordable and ensuring that you keep as much of your hard-earned money as possible. When selling your home or other real property, you want to get as much value out of the property as possible!
