Hiring a Lawyer vs. Working with a Real Estate Agent
Real estate agents earn a commission with each home they help sell or purchase. As a result, they have a financial incentive to make sure a home sale or purchase is successful. Consequently, when issues arise that could potentially halt the final sale of a home, a real estate agent may be more interested in patching over differences instead of protecting you.
In fact, most real estate contracts include a clause that requires you to enter into arbitration if post-sale issues arise. That means if you discover a serious problem with your home after its sale, you can't sue the seller in court; rather, you'll have to hire an attorney, pay for an arbitrator, and go through a process that will not guarantee a settlement proportional to your losses. Additionally, by rejecting an arbitration clause, you put the other side on notice, making them think more carefully about what they say and do.
We work for YOU - Not for a Sale
As your legal counsel and representative, our primary concern is to protect you, the client. We don't have a financial incentive in a sale. Our attorneys explain the legal issues involved, your exposure to liability, and what you should do to protect yourself.
