Deciding between using a real estate lawyer or real estate agent for your next major investment? Though a real estate may save you your money for now, in the long run you are likely to pay for it. People usually ask the question as to whether they can simply hire a real estate lawyer in lieu of a real estate agent. Or vice versa

Well the answer for this is a simply probably not. The truth is this two serve different purposes and both are very necessary. Arguably they both serve various services very relevant to achieve an optimal outcome on your home sale or purchase. Though in the short run a real estate lawyer might save you some money, you may pay for the savings in the long run.

Interestingly, you may not be required legally to hire the services of a real estate agent to buy or sell a home. But in some countries, it is a requirement to hire a real estate lawyer before closing is done. This real estate lawyer gives legal advices, drafts legal documents, performs the tittle search and closes the deal officially. Undoubtedly whether you hire a realtor you will hire the lawyer for the closing of the deal anyway.

However, the question is why do I necessarily need an estate agent anyway?  Buying or selling a real property involves a lot of paperwork. It is such a complex process such that it cannot be left for just the real estate lawyer to handle. The many areas of the purchase process like purchase contract and even closing the document cannot be done hurriedly. All the little details like negotiations and inspections move quickly.

This is why it is relevant to get a professional real estate agent with years of experience. Though it may seem like a waste of money I believe it is worth considering. You need someone who can be your advocate to get you the best cheap price at the while saving you time.
