And how are they paid by the buyer?
I was able to get a great price on a condo plus $4500 for closing costs. My realtor insists that I hire an attorney for my own sake being a first time homebuyer. I’m worried that by doing so will send my costs over the $4500.
I am in the process of buying a home that is not on the market and is the early stages of foreclosure. I need to hire a real estate attorney to put together a contract and attend closing.. How much do they usually charge for this service?
I live in VA
Do all attorneys who practice different type of the law go to trial?
I am looking to possibly purchase my grandmothers home. We are trying to determine of it is more cost effective to use a realtor or use a real estate attorney.
Last year my wife and I decided to sell our house and had a buyer almost immediately . We knew what house we wanted to purchase and put the bid in when we knew it was a solid buyer. About a month before closing the deal on the new house fell through and we weren’t able to buy it. We were unable to purchase a new home and wanted to cancel the deal on our house. We found out that there is a clause that stats we need to find suitable housing or the deal is dead. Well our agent FAILED to put that in the contract and our Attorney failed to catch the mistake. After speaking with several real estate agents they all said 99.9% of the time you put that clause in the contract. We were forced to sell our house and are currently renting. I know real estate agents pay a monthly fee so they are covered if they do get sued. I would like to know if we might be able to sue the agent for not putting this clause in the contract resulting in us losing our home.
Recently, my husband and I foreclosed on our home. We found out that there were numerous fraudulant things on our loan paperwork. We were first time home buyers, and we were easily taken advantage of. We have moved out of the house ,and the bank has taken posssesion. Although a long shot… is there any way we could still save our home? If we went to court, and could show that we were taken advantage of, and that the bank must uphold thier agreement on payments? (our original payment agreement was $2000 less than what our mortgage bill was, we would never have bought a house with a mortgage payment that high, nor the interest we thought we had, but didnt..) Is there any recourse I can do? I heard briefly of a quiet title? Does it relate here? Thank you so much for your help!
Could a person take the easy route and go to the John Marshall School of Law instead of going to a higher tier school and still find success in real estate law?
