Buying and selling real estate is a huge complicated transaction. That's why it's smart to have a whole team to help you, including a real estate lawyer.
Of course it is always smart to have a real estate agent by your side when purchasing and selling property. However if the process becomes more complicated with addendums or special clauses, it's smart to utilize a real estate attorney because he or she can write up a contract.
The reason you want a real estate attorney is because you want these to contracts to be legally enforceable. Every month I see contracts written up by real estate agents that just cannot be enforced.
All lawyers are not the same. Use a real estate attorney... not the attorney that helped you through your divorce.
