7 Reasons to hire Our Firm when Selling Your Property
While many individuals will hire a real estate agent to help them sell their home, most of them never think about the importance of hiring a real estate lawyer. However, hiring a real estate lawyer can be a sensible decision as there are numerous services they can provide than an agent or broker cannot. Here are 7 reasons to consider hiring our legal firm when selling your property:
A real estate lawyer can assist you in drafting contingencies
If the sale of your property involves any concessions or contingencies your real estate lawyer can help. We understand all of the legal concepts and terms in your contract and can provide advice regarding any potential risks that may be involved.
A real estate lawyer can create, modify, and review real estate contracts
It’s important to have a real estate lawyer review your sales contract and modify it in order to protect your best interests. Many real estate agents will use contracts that aren’t tailored to the sale of your property.
A real estate lawyer is an expert negotiator
While real estate agents will negotiate a deal on your behalf, they only have one object – get the highest commission possible. Conversely, your real estate lawyer will negotiate for your benefit and no one else’s. The Makaronets Real Estate Law Firm has extensive experience negotiating with buyers and sellers
A real estate lawyer will explain any legal obligations
Although most individuals expect the sales process to go smoothly, there’s always the possibility that you might have to back out of the deal. Your real estate lawyer can explain any legal obligations you have and the consequences of changing your mind.
A real estate lawyer will handle any legal issues that arise
There may be legal issues that arise when selling your home such as easements, liens, title defects or zoning restrictions. The Makaronets Real Estate Law Firm has the required legal expertise and knowledge to address these issues and resolve them.
A real estate lawyer will pursue legal action if required
Real estate agents are limited in what they can do should any legal issues arise. On the other hand, your real estate lawyer can pursue legal action on your behalf if the need arises. There are lots of moving parts involved when selling your home. So you don’t want to have to defend your legal rights in front of a judge and jury.
Most importantly, a real estate lawyer will represent your best interests
Although a real estate agent must work on your behalf, they don’t owe you the fiduciary legal duty that a lawyer does. Real estate agents are only interested in getting a higher price for your home and getting a higher commission. Conversely, the Makaronets Real Estate Law Firm won’t have any financial interest in the sale of your home.
