This short article we're going to be looking at common questions, those buyers and sellers often ask. Which is do I really need to have, or do I need to hire a real estate attorney for my real estate transaction? 

First of all, there is no Florida statute that says, that the buyers and sellers must use a real estate attorney. That's simply not the case; Florida law does allow for a lot of leeway for itself associates of the real estate agents to complete a form pre-approved. By Florida, a bar is the for suspicion of realtors to complete a purchase transaction. Other states that are not the case, for instance in New York you must have a real estate attorney involved to handle that document. Florida allows a lot of the way. No, it is not absolutely required.

1. Buyers and Sellers Have Every Right to Seek Legal Representation

Buyer or seller feels much more comfortable seeking the advice of a real estate attorney, to help from there transaction. That, by all means, that's exactly, what they should do. An agent should never tell you not to use a real estate attorney. If you ever run into a situation where the self-associate. The agent tells you to know, it's really not it's a simple transaction. I really don't think that you need to get a real estate attorney. That I would be cautious with that of sales associates are never in a position to advise you. Whether or not you should seek the advice of a real estate attorney. That's going to be strictly up to the client. Obviously, that's going to be an additional expense it's going to be incurred by the buyer the seller. But if they feel more comfortable doing that's exactly what they should do.

2. Select Representation Before Signing a Contract

If you are going to seek the advice of a real estate attorney. You probably should seek that advice before you sign the contract. This kind of sounds like common sense, but a lot of clients to this to go sign the contract. And then they go let's see for a real estate attorney. Which doesn't mean, that they can add some value after, the fact that they're already bound by the contracts. My suggestion would be that sick that advice before signing the contract.

3. Use A Real Estate Attorney Knowledgeable in Real Estate 

Some of them are out a little bit more value, why, because they're more focused and real estate. Some of the traffic tickets divorce, immigration and they also happen to do real estate. And I'm not saying that somebody in a real estate attorney that does that. Would not be able to add value. But I think the probability is hiring that if you have somebody just focus on real estate. Common sense would tell you, that they probably would be able to help you out.
