If you are buying or selling real estate, you may have heard you need a real estate attorney. Mississippi requires that you hire a real estate attorney for your closing. Let’s check out this realtor.com article that lists the 5 things your real estate attorney wants you to know.

1. Don’t wait to call. Even if you end up walking away from the contract due to a contingency and the sale does not go through, your Realtor should help you get in contact with a closing attorney as soon as the contract is signed.

2. Make sure to hire a real estate attorney. Oxford has as many attorneys as we do real estate agents. It’s important to hire an attorney that deals with real estate. Neighborhood Realty always shares our list of local real estate attorneys and help with getting the information to the right people at the attorney’s office.

3. Attorneys can do things real estate agents cannot do. Mississippi requires a real estate attorney handle the closing. Realtors know that they are not licensed attorneys and should not give legal advice.

4. Real Estate Attorneys are also helpful for sellers. Again, it’s required for a real estate attorney to handle all closings in the state of Mississippi.

5. Real Estate Attorneys actually do a lot of work. Thanks to your real estate attorney, you’ll be able to rest assured there are no problems with the title and that the terms of the purchase agreement are fair to you.
