If youre a first-time buyer or youre buying or selling a home without an agent, a real estate lawyer can answer your questions, help you negotiate, and take care of a lot of the little details you might not be aware of.

In many states, escrow is handled by a real estate attorney versus an actual escrow, or closing company.

Buying or selling a home (or other piece of real property) usually involves the transfer of large sums of money. It is imperative that the transfer of these funds and related documents from one party to another be handled in a neutral, secure and knowledgeable manner. For the protection of buyer, seller and lender, the escrow process was developed.
