What is the name of your state? Texas
I am considering selling my home and buying another. After reading all the mistakes and mishaps of others on this site, I am wondering if I need to get both a real estate agent and a real estate lawyer. Getting the agent seems like a no brainer since what I know about real estate I can write on the back of my business card.
My questions is: Should a real estate agent be able to handle the both the sale of one home and the purchase of another or do I need to engage the services of a real estate lawyer too?
I did not have a real estate attorney when I bought my home (it was my first) but I wonder if I should have. Or, am I being concerned over nothing? In most cases, should a good real estate agent be able to handle the transactions?
Thanks for your insight.
