Lawyer and offer template

offers can be verbal agreements, but you do need a lawyer to go into contract officially

You do not need a lawyer just to make an offer - BUT - before you sign the contract, you'd be an idiot not to have a sharp real estate attorney thoroughly review the contract for your own protection.

>offers can be verbal agreements

offers are not agreements.

msbrooklyn: if you are close to making an offer, you'd be foolish to not have a consult with your real estate attorney. You're gonna need the attorney the moment your offer is accepted, so a consult before the offer is worth the effort. Many real estate attorneys flat-rate the transaction, so a brief consult is unlikely to add to your costs, and could save you $$ if you learn anything.

Depends how much you know about real estate and contract law, and also how
simple/complex your purchase is.

SO how complex is it? If my wife is a lawyer can she just do it, or is it actually and truly so complex? Have looked at a few of the contracts and, while written in legalease, seems pretty straightforward. SO what do the lawyers actually look at? Often it says they are looking at financials. Why do I need a lawyer to look at that?

We thought we should make an offer, then if they accept, we talk to the lawyer. We'll go see the lawyer first. Thanks for the advice.

who are you using as your real estate atty?
