Do I need a lawyer to buy or sell a home? Buying or selling a home is one of the most important contracts you will ever enter into. Before you sign an Agreement of Sale, you should have it reviewed by an attorney.

Do I need a lawyer even if I am using a real estate agent and a standard form agreement of sale? Even if you have a realtor and/or even if you are using an approved Agreement of Sale form, you should have a lawyer "interpret" the Agreement for you, to make sure you understand what it says and to make sure your rights are protected.

If I don't use the services of a lawyer to help me buy or sell my home, is that a problem? The Agreemnt of Sale is a legal and binding contract when it is signed by the Buyer and Seller. Most people who have problems with the purchase and/or sale of a home did not have a lawyer review the Agreement of Sale before signing it, or they did not have a lawyer help them throughout the "process" or they did not have representation at the time of settlement. Why take chances on something so important?

REAL ESTATE TESTIMONIAL:

"I struggled for 2 years trying to resolve a real estate issue involving my deposit funds being held and not released. After 2 years of unsuccessful attempts to appeal to reason and a failed mediation, I had no choice but to seek the help of an attorney. Luckily for me the Bar Association referred me to Larry Lefkowitz, who met with me soon after I contacted him; immediately determined that he'd be able to help and got started with contacting the involved parties. Within a couple of months, we moved from ending demand letters to filing suit and approximately one month after filing to sue, my funds were returned with interest. I'm confident that the only reason this was finally resolved within a few months vs. the 2 previous years I spent trying to work with real estate agents on both sides was due to Larry's aggressive management of my situation. Thanks Larry, if I had of known, I would have contacted you much earlier." Mai White, Cheltenham, Pa.
