Buying or Selling a Home

The best time to involve an attorney is before you sign any documents. When a client is purchasing or selling real estate, it is important to have a lawyer review any documents before signing. After the signing is too late, because you have entered into a binding contract by signing.

If you are selling your own home without a broker—which is common in Massachusetts—consult a lawyer to draft the real estate documents you need. Even if you are listing with a real estate agent, we suggest you seek legal advice. Typically, realty agents recommend speaking with an attorney, because realty agents are prohibited by law from giving legal advice.

There are many potential dangers even to signing an offer without the advice of a real estate attorney. Even an offer can have binding, legal provisions a layperson may not understand.

Title Disparities

One of the major issues before the closing is a problem with title. When there is a title problem, the buyer should resolve it before the closing. Our experienced lawyers know how to work with title issues and protect clients' interests in property.
