Do I Need A Real Estate Attorney And Inspector To Buy A New Home In Southern Ca?

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

I’m about to sign a sale contract with a home builder, the house is in Riverside, CA. i heard some comment that i only need to have a real estate agent to take care and review my contract and escrow paper, not lawyer. is that true? somehow with all the research i’ve done online i’m not so convincing of that idea. this is the first time i buy a house so i have no clue at all who is better.please advise. and if i do need a real estate attorney, please give me some recommendation in Riverside,CA or around the city. It’d be nice too if you could give me an idea of how big the attorney charge will be.
I’m also being told that i don’t need to hire a home inspector since the house is brand new and come with warranty.again i’m not very convincing. so i need more advise and opinion from more people and recommendation for home inspector too. please also let me know the inspection charge range if possible. thank you!

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

This is a serious legal question. By law in Pennsylvania, I cannot “throw him out” because he has established residency via receiving mail at my address. I cannot file with the district justice for an eviction because there is no lease or rental agreement. I cannot afford an attorney right now. There must be some way I can have him removed.

Can An Attorney Represent Themselves In Buying A Home?

Friday, July 24th, 2009

I am an attorney and I am looking to buy my first home. I have a close family member who is a realtor but want to avoid naming a broker on the offer so I can reap the benefits of the commission.

Does anyone know of any authorities that I can reference in my argument regarding this issue?
