Why Do I Need a Real Estate Attorney?

Although it's not always required by law to hire a real estate attorney, it's always a good idea to do so, especially for the average residential property sale. A real estate attorney reviews the property and title, determining whether the property is available to be sold and that no past owners will be able to challenge your ownership of the home. A real estate attorney can also advise you regarding mortgage options. Whether you're buying or selling, a real estate attorney negotiates on your behalf during the closing process. If you want to be completely certain that someone will be advocating for your best interests when you're buying or selling a property, hire an experienced real estate attorney.

A real estate attorney can help you answer a number of questions:

  • Whether your mortgage rate will change over time
  • Whether the property has any hazards or zoning violation issues
  • Whether there are any potential ownership or change of title issues with the property
  • Whether there are any restrictions or covenants on the property that would limit your use of it
  • How accurate the property appraisal value is
  • What the real estate taxes will be

It's important to know the answers to every single one of these questions before you close on a new property. Attorney Ieraci's office will guide you through every step of the buying or selling process in order to make sure all your bases are covered.

Selecting Your Real Estate Attorney

Buying or selling a home is an intense, overwhelming process. It's important to choose a professional, qualified real estate attorney in good standing. It's important to choose your attorney early so we can be ready to go at a moment's notice. Here are some tips on choosing the right legal assistance as you navigate the buying or selling process:

  • Do You Have a Lawyer Already? In some cases, you might have already worked with an attorney on a completely separate legal matter; do you know if that person also practices real estate law? If they don't, they might be able to recommend someone.
  • Ask Around: If you've never bought or sold a home before, you might not know where to begin at all. Do you have family or friends who have bought a home? Ask them if they would recommend their lawyer! 
  • Check the Internet: So many good resources can be found online. You can check the New York State Bar Association's website, browse customer reviews, and generally get an idea of what to expect before you even call our office.
  • Schedule a Consultation: We'll have a conversation about your goals and expectations, and help you understand how the process works so you feel prepared when the time comes.
