Real estate attorney suggestions/ other advice appreciated
Posted: Mon Apr 23, 2012 7:29 pm
My wife and I are planning on making a purchase offer for a home that we are currently renting. Since we are not using an agent and this is our first home we need a real estate attorney. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Also, any advice on what we should do prior to purchasing the home? It's an old home built in 1928 so during the inspection we're definitely going to have them check the wiring, and certain things about the roof. We're also going to request a one year home warranty and have them put storm windows on all of our front facing windows that don't currently have them. I assume most of these bits of information would be relayed to the attorney who would put them into the contract, but I don't know what other contractual standards exist.
