How Can You Ensure You Hire the Right Real Estate Attorney?

Chicago Real Estate Podcast with Dave Auffarth

If you’re looking to buy or sell a home, you’ll want an experienced real estate attorney on your side. I’ll go over how to select one today.

Buying a home? Search all homes for sale on the MLS

Selling your home? Get a home valuation

How can you make sure you’re choosing the right real estate attorney? I’ll go over how to select someone who will ensure your home buying or selling process is a smooth one. First, ask your Realtor for their recommendations. Many times, Realtors will have their own list of qualified lenders who can assist you throughout the entire process. These vendors are typically people with whom your Realtor has worked with in the past, which means he or she can vouch for them. If your Realtor doesn’t have a preferred real estate attorney, ask for recommendations from your friends, family, and colleagues. From there you can call a few different attorneys and assess their different fees and services.

A real estate attorney will attend the closing to make sure your mortgage and title documents are in order.

You also need to clarify who will be working on your sale to ensure that person has the right amount of experience. There are many benefits to hiring an experienced real estate attorney. They take care of all of your documents and attend the closing to make sure your mortgage and title documents are in order, to name a few. If you have any other questions about real estate attorneys or real estate in general, don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you!
