Our Attorneys take a 60 seconds to touch on some important issues to consider

Ralph A. Cantafio, Esq. "Do I need a real estate lawyer?"

Real estate lawyers tend to be used in more complicated transactions and commercial transactions. A good real estate lawyer can be a great help if the property is going to be used differently than its historic use and when the property will require zoning amendments or other government approval. In these cases, it is important to contact a real estate attorney BEFORE you purchase. Early intervention is critical. For example, if there is a problem with the title and you call an attorney three days before a scheduled closing, it may be too late for the attorney to help you.
