Do I Need an Attorney?

The use of an attorney in a real estate transaction varies from state to state. In some states, like California, it is not typical to use an attorney with a real estate transaction and many forms are highly standardized. In other states, such as New York, it is typical to have an attorney write a custom real estate contract. If it is typical to use an attorney in your state, we recommend that you use an in-state attorney for the transaction. HomeLister does the work of a seller's broker and does not replace an attorney.
