Unfore- seen issues often arise during real estate transactions, and in such in- stances a real estate attorney can prove invaluable. While buyers, sell- ers or veteran real estate investors might be able to handle minor or rou- tine issues on their own or with the help of their realtor, more complex matters are best left in the hands of a real estate attorney. One of the benefi ts to hiring a real estate attorney when negotiating a complex or potentially complex real estate transaction is the expertise that lawyers can bring to the table. Realtors may have vast experience buying and selling homes, and many are ad- ept at negotiating as well. But realtors are not licensed to practice law, and even the savviest realtor would admit that offering legal advice is not his or her forte. Men and women involved in complex or potentially complex real estate transactions would be wise to hire a real estate attorney, and the following are a few things to consider before hiring someone to represent you. Experience One of the reasons to hire a real estate attorney is to make use of their experience. Hurdles have a tendency to spring up during complicated real estate transactions. Men and women involving themselves in development deals or buying rental properties likely won't see potential red fl ags as clearly as a veteran real estate attorney will. When interviewing a real estate attorney, ask how long he has been working as a real estate lawyer and how long he has been practicing in your particular state and city. Zoning laws and other restrictions vary from state to state and city to city, so look for a lawyer who has considerable experience in your state and city or the state and city where the transaction is taking place. Plan of action When interviewing prospective attorneys, don't assume each one knows the best way to approach your particular case. Provide the details of your transaction and then ask each attorney to explain how they would approach the case. A veteran real estate attorney should be able to provide a detailed account of how he plans to represent you, including what needs to be done to get the transaction off the ground, any potential hurdles that might need to be cleared and how to clear those should they arise. Avoid attorneys who give general or am- biguous answers, as such answers may be poor attempts by the lawyer to mask his or her inexperience with transactions such as yours. Some attorneys may request time to develop a plan of action, and you should not immediately remove them from consideration, especially if they ultimately answer the question in thoughtful detail. Billing Attorneys are expensive, so it's best to discuss the billing process before hiring someone to represent you. Attorneys tend to bill by the hour, but their rates may be negotiable depend- ing on the service they're providing. Those who will be overseeing your real estate transaction and continuously representing you will likely bill by the hour, but if you're hiring a real estate attorney to examine a potential agreement or draft a contract then you can probably negoti- ate a fl at fee for those services. But be sure to discuss billing before hiring an attorney. Real estate transactions are rarely inexpensive, so you don't want to be blindsided down the road when your legal bills come due. Representation When interviewing an attorney, many people assume the attorney they initially interviewed will be the person who represents them throughout the transaction. However, the day-to-day work on your case may be assigned to a junior associate or even someone who isn't licensed to practice law, such as a paralegal or a current law school student who is interning with the fi rm. These people might be perfectly capable of handling your transaction, but you should meet them before hiring the fi rm to represent you. A good rapport with the person who will be working on your case can ease the stress associated with complex real estate transactions. Real estate attorneys can help men and women navigate the sometimes turbulent waters of real estate transactions, and it helps to consider a host of factors before hiring a fi rm to represent you.
