7 Reasons Why You Need a Real Estate Attorney

Millions of real estate transactions take place every year. Although some might assume that these contracts don’t require legal expertise or guidance, such a misconception can lead to problems in the future. At Johnston & Associates Law Firm, our team of Santa Rosa real estate attorneys can help you protect your interests and ensure that you aren’t caught off guard.

Here are seven reasons to hire a member of our team:

  1. Real Estate Contracts are Variable

Many contracts can be negotiated and altered just like any other contract. Without understanding these changes, you can get the short end of the stick.

  1. No Details will be Overlooked

The smaller details are often just as important as the obvious ones. For example, titles must be cleared, disclosures must be made properly, and specific local laws must be carefully compiled.

  1. It’s Easy to Miss Hidden Clauses

Unfortunately, the hardest things to spot are often the ones that can have the biggest negative impact. In particular, you might miss clauses that are skewed to benefit the other party, which can harm your interests in the long run.

  1. Properly Addressing any Property Liens

Property liens lead to the failure of real estate transactions. But an experienced attorney can remove these claims and ensure that you secure proof of clean title.

  1. Taking Care of Paperwork

Real estate transactions come with plenty of paperwork to be filed and approved. With a real estate lawyer by your side, you can be sure these filings are taken care of as efficiently as possible.

  1. Legal Advice

Real estate investment mistakes can have a very negative impact on your finances. Hiring a real estate attorney for their advice is often much cheaper than an avoidable legal mistake in the long run.

  1. An Advocate for Your Benefit

With a lawyer, you have a professional familiar with the real estate industry fighting for you. It is their duty to watch out for your best interests and ensure that you are always getting the best deal possible.
