Why do you need a real estate attorney?

While a real estate agent or broker may be very helpful in locating an attractive piece of property, the legal aspects of the transaction are best handled by a real estate attorney. Real estate agents and brokers are committed to making the sale and collecting commissions, but may not have discovered that the chain of title is defective. They may not be concerned with whether the language of the purchase or sale agreement creates a liability for you.
