With all these signed agreements, is it important to have a lawyer?
Although many people buy and sell houses each year on their own, it is a good idea to have an attorney represent your interests when you are buying or selling a house. An attorney who has experience in real estate can help you to draw up a contract that can be sure all contingencies have been considered. The real estate agent will be trying to get the deal done, so as to receive his/her commission, so it is good to have someone who specifically represents you, whether you are the buyer or the seller.

A lawyer can also help you do a "title search" to be sure the property is free from any claims against it by creditors of the seller, or of previous owners.
