When purchasing a home, you may be on the fence on whether or not you should get a lawyer involved. Though you may feel comfortable just having your agent on your side, it is preferred to have both an agent and a lawyer.
Your agent can help you figure out the details of the house you are interested in, such as the neighborhood, fair prices, contracts, and more. The one thing they cannot do is provide legal advice throughout the transaction. Even if they know the answer to your question, an agent can lose their job over giving the response to anything law related.
If you become dissatisfied with the home or wish to cancel your purchase, you will need a real estate attorney in Jacksonville Beach, FL, to handle the job. Your agent can point you to the specific clause in the contract, but cannot suggest a lawsuit or guarantee your deposit is returned.
Both an agent and lawyer are essential for any real estate transaction. If you are interested in purchasing a home and are in need of legal advice, contact the team at Baron Bartlett, P.A. for a consultation. We will sit down with you and help you understand everything about your upcoming purchase.
