Buying a home is probably the most expensive purchase most of us will ever make. Wouldn’t it make sense to have an experienced real estate attorney on your side making sure you are getting the best deal possible? When you start the process of looking for your dream home make sure you have an expert to call and consult with. Your Attorney is truly your only advocate in the process.
In Connecticut title insurance companies and mortgage lenders actually require a buyer to use an attorney. Once you get to the closing table you will have to have an attorney-why not get one at the beginning of the purchase instead of at the end. The cost won’t change and you will have peace of mind knowing you have an experienced person you can call with any questions.
A real estate attorney protects your investment and makes sure you get what you bargained for. Without an attorney, you may purchase a house for more than it is really worth or lose your deposit.
Your attorney will verify that title is good, that there are no outstanding liens against the property, and that the deal will close as anticipated.
Having an attorney upfront takes the guess work out of the home buying equation and can help you with questions like.
These are just a few of the questions that a really good Attorney can help you with.
Review the terms of your mortgage and confirm that the rates and fees match those that were quoted to you and are reasonable and fair
Check the title to the property for existing liens, mortgages, or restrictions on the property
Arrange title insurance protection to cover you from financial losses due to defects in the title of your property
Review the contract and make sure you meet all your deadlines, inspection deadlines, mortgage contingency deadlines, contractual closing date deadlines
Attend the closing and review all the papers you will be required to sign
