Do I Need to Hire a Real Estate Attorney or Real Estate Agent?

 

While not required in the state of Idaho, some states mandate the involvement of a real estate attorney in overseeing the transaction of a property. If optional, you should consider hiring a real estate attorney anytime you are involved in a real estate transaction, especially if the transaction is out of the ordinary or you’re facing any kind of property dispute. A real estate attorney will help guide you through the process and resolve difficult situations with the best possible outcome.

  • Ensure that the property you’re buying has no illegal modifications or improvements.
  • Manage the complications involved in the real estate transactions.
  • Obtain an objective 3rd party source to review documents, including the purchase and sale agreement, title report or preliminary title insurance report.
