Contract Review
Reviewing a contract is a pivotal step in real estate closings. When done right, it reduces the risk-bearing of all parties and makes sure they benefit from the terms. It also provides the opportunity to understand what all parties agree to once they put in their signatures.
For this reason, you must have an attorney review your real estate contract, including the documentation that does not require your signature, so they can advise you on the problem areas and suggest any additions or modifications.
Believe us on this one, when you work with an attorney, you will see just how beneficial it is to have an expert by your side, helping you navigate the intricacies.
Why Do You Need A Contract Attorney?
A professional contract review is always a good idea to preserve your property rights. An attorney reviewing your real estate contract will ensure the agreement follows the specific legal requirements because the format and wordings matter to keep all parties legally binding.
Any loopholes in contracts can get you in trouble and have your rights taken back or be terminated entirely. Also, signing where not necessary can land you with costly and complicated mistakes.
All in all, a contract review attorney can:
- Draft a reasonable contract
- Review the terms and conditions
- Revise the contract
- Help you understand the terms
- Negotiate any changes
- Get your signatures only where necessary
Usually, this is a step-by-step process to make sure the contract conditions are crystal clear to all parties. If you decide to go ahead without an attorney, these steps will prevent you from signing anywhere where the terms might not be in your best interest.
However, a contract review attorney may be your best bet to understand your rights, distinguish right from wrong, collect all evidence or records, and responsibly bring everything together.
What to Expect?
If you haven’t hired a contract attorney before, the idea can seem intimidating. Thus, we’ll quickly shed some light on how we review real estate agreements so you know what to expect.
We start by providing an opinion letter that lists the potential changes as well as any not-so-obvious obligations. Once you get the letter, we schedule a one-on-one or telephonic discussion to conclude the final terms.
After that, the proposed changes are communicated to the other party, and work on revising the contract as per the situation demands. We then review the revisions and ensure the contract reads appropriately. If you think that you don’t want an attorney to take over, reconsider your decision. The direct the contact, the lesser your expenses. But, the complicated the terms, the more are your chances of falling into trouble.
Disputes of a poorly and inadequately drafted contract are always more cumbersome and expensive than hiring an attorney and avoiding negative consequences altogether.
