Choosing your Real Estate Attorney

While any attorney licensed to practice law in New Jersey can assist you with your home purchase, selecting an attorney that has a working knowledge of the real estate process is extremely important. Not only will a real estate attorney be able to assist you with negotiating the purchase price of the home, he or she will be ready and able to close your transaction when you want to. This is extremely important since you will most likely have deadlines to meet such as loan commitment and interest rate expiration dates. Or you may simply want to move into your new home prior to the beginning of the school year or prior to starting a new job- which means you'll need someone working to meet your needs. An Attorney that specializes in types of law other than real estate may be unaware of these important deadlines.
