Real estate attorneys: The basics

by Lori David Boone, Associate Broker, MRP, SRS, RENE 03/31/2025

A real estate attorney is a crucial professional to have on your side when it comes to buying or selling property. They specialize in property law and play a vital role in ensuring the legality and protection of all parties involved in a transaction. But what do they actually do? Here are some of the key responsibilities of a real estate attorney:


Document Drafting & Review

Real estate attorneys handle the drafting, review, and negotiation of legal documents such as purchase agreements, deeds, titles, and contracts. Their goal is to safeguard their clients' interests by identifying potential risks, ambiguities, or hidden clauses.


Title Search & Insurance

Real estate attorneys conduct thorough title searches to ensure the property's ownership history is clear of liens, encumbrances, or legal disputes. They may also help obtain title insurance for protection against future issues.


Due Diligence

Attorneys carefully examine all aspects of a property, including zoning regulations, land use restrictions, and environmental assessments. This process helps clients make informed decisions and avoid costly complications.


Negotiation & Dispute Resolution

Real estate attorneys represent their clients during negotiations, aiming to secure favorable terms and protect their interests. In the event of a dispute, they provide guidance, mediate conflicts, or handle litigation if necessary.


Closing Procedures

Attorneys ensure that all legal requirements are met during the closing stage of a transaction. They coordinate with other professionals involved, oversee the transfer of funds and property rights, and ensure proper execution and recording of documentation.


Engaging a real estate attorney is a wise decision when navigating property transactions. Their expertise helps mitigate risks, provide legal guidance, and protect your interests throughout the process. Whether it's document preparation, dispute resolution, or overseeing closing procedures, a real estate attorney serves as an invaluable asset, offering peace of mind and facilitating smooth transactions in the real estate industry.
