5 Questions to Ask When Hiring a Real Estate Attorney


1. How Long Have You Been Practicing? ● One of the most important qualities to look for in a real estate attorney is experience and it’s helpful to know up front how long they’ve been practicing. Generally, the more complicated the transaction is, the more experienced you want your attorney to be. ● You may also want to ask if they specialize in any particular area of real estate law.


2. Have You Handled Cases Similar to Mine? ● Choosing an attorney who’s familiar with the type of transaction involved works in your favor, since they already understand the potential problems that can arise and how to head them off. ● This is also a good way to get a feel for how much the attorney actually knows when it comes to real estate law.


3. What Are Your Fees? ● Price is an important consideration when it comes to choosing a real estate attorney but it shouldn’t be the only one. Depending on your situation, it may be worth it to pay a little more to get the outcome you want. ● Always ask for an estimate and don’t be afraid to negotiate a better price.


4. Will Anyone Else Be Working On My Case? ● You should also ask what your options are if you have questions about the case. Specifically, you need to know when and how you can get in touch with your attorney if you need to and who else you can talk to if he or she isn’t available. ● Communication is key to a good working relationship with your attorney and you need to feel confident.


5. Can You Provide References? ● Talking to a real estate attorney firsthand lets you get a feel for their personality and professionalism but you can get additional insight by talking to people they’ve worked with before. ● Doing some careful research and asking the right questions can ensure that you find the best overall fit.
