The purchase of a house or condominium is often the largest investment of money made by a person or a couple. An error when buying real estate can cost you a lot of money. The complexities and technicalities involved in purchasing real estate require the service of an experienced real estate lawyer who represents your interests.

You should consult a real estate attorney before you sign an offer. That offer, despite what well-intentioned real estate professionals might tell you to the contrary, is a binding contract between the buyer and seller that defines the rights and duties of the parties. Those rights and duties may be altered or further defined in the purchase and sale agreement; however, failure to sign a purchase and sale agreement may still result in the parties being bound by the offer.

Preferably, you should consult with a real estate lawyer as soon as you know you are going to buy a house or condominium or know you want to put your house or condominium up for sale, even before you call in a real estate broker.

A buyer also should have his or her own personal real estate attorney even though the buyer likely will pay for the bank attorney, commonly referred to as the closing attorney. The bank or closing attorney does not get involved until the end of the transaction, far too late to prevent potential problems that may jeopardize a buyer's deposit or finances in some other way. In addition, the closing attorney's loyalities are to the bank, not the buyer.
