The Benefits of a Real Estate Attorney
Many people hire a real estate agent when purchasing property. This is a typical move — but you should consider a real estate attorney. Real estate agents make high commissions and sometimes part of that cost is passed on to you, the buyer. If you’re going to be paying for the cost of an agent, you should be getting more for your money. A real estate attorney, unlike a real estate agent, provides you with valuable legal information during the entire process, owes a duty only to you and stands behind the advice given.

Why You Need a Real Estate Lawyer
Real estate purchases can seem simple on paper. Make an offer, offer is accepted, contracts are signed, money is exchanged, and the property is transferred. However, unforeseen problems commonly crop up along the way and, without a lawyer to assist, these problems can completely derail the process and add time and money to your transaction. Having a real estate attorney from the beginning can help avoid these problems from the beginning — or have someone on board who can deal with them efficiently if they occur.
Following are some legal issues possible with all types of real estate transactions. Your Kalamazoo real estate attorney can help you with any of these issues:
- The seller withdraws the property from the market
- There is a problem with the title
- There are tax consequences from the sale
- Issues are found after the inspection
- Explain and handle legal consequences if the closing doesn’t take place
Your real estate attorney can also help prepare and explain the title search, let you know if there are any restrictions or issues, and assist in resolving them.
As you can see, having a real estate lawyer by your side can be invaluable, especially if unforeseen issues come up — which can be all too often in today’s unpredictable market. Veritas Law Group familiarity with the Michigan real estate market can help make the process run more smoothly.
