What should I be looking for in a real estate lawyer?
Choose a real estate lawyer:
It’s important that you choose an attorney whose central practice is real estate law. Some make the mistake of choosing a family friend who helped with their divorce or an attorney close to them. However, not every attorney can competently represent you in real estate.
Experience Matters:
Your real estate lawyer should have thousands of transactions and several years experience in real estate.
