If you are selling or buying a home as part of a for-sale-by-owner transaction, being represented by a qualified and experienced real estate attorney can bring a lot of peace of mind to the transaction.

The website, ConsumerAffairs.com states: “Even if your state doesn’t have an attorney requirement, it’s often a good idea to hire one to protect yourself. Purchasing a home is one of the most important transactions of your life. A lawyer can look out for your best interests and answer any questions you have about the documents you’ll sign.”
