What Does a Real Estate Lawyer Actually Do?
A real estate attorney helps protect your interests during one of the biggest financial transactions you'll ever make. In New Jersey, buyers and sellers both benefit from legal review of contracts, title issues, closing documents, and more. And because real estate deals can move quickly, having a lawyer who knows the process-and picks up the phone-can make a big difference.
Whether you're working with a realtor or going the FSBO route, we'll make sure nothing slips through the cracks.
