Real estate purchase, lease, or sale is a complex transaction. If you are the buyer or the seller in a real estate transaction, and especially a buyer or seller of a residential home, you have the most to lose or gain in the transaction.
Every real estate transaction has many distinct parts and stages, including getting the real estate “under contract”, seeing through all conditions or work that must be done and “closing” the deal, when the real estate actually legally becomes the buyers or the lessee’s. There are also many players, individuals, and corporations involved in typical real estate transactions, including real estate agents for both the buyer and the seller, attorneys for both the buyer and the seller, a home inspector for the buyer, mortgage companies and more. This can make real estate transactions appear even more complex, as each party attempts to represent their client.
Especially for residential buyers and residential homeowners who are selling their real estate , a real estate transaction can represent one of the most notable and memorable life events. The legal aspects of the purchase can be stressful and time consuming. You need an experienced real estate attorney who will be attentive to all of your legal needs. In fact, recognizing the complexity of real estate transactions, the State of New York (amongst several other states) requires a buyer or seller to have an attorney for the closing of a real estate deal. Although not all states require the buyer and seller to have a lawyer
