However, unless you have solid legal or financial real estate\nexperience and a very straightforward transaction to deal with, it\u2019s rarely\never worth it to skip out on working with a real estate law team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re pondering why you should retain the services of a\nreal estate lawyer for your next home, cottage or condo purchase, we\u2019ve put\ntogether some compelling reasons that should help you make your decision. After\nall, buying or selling property is one of the biggest financial and personal\ndecisions we ever make, so it\u2019s important to ensure that it\u2019s done expertly and\non time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Super\nsleuths <\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your real estate law team is made up of expert\ninvestigators. They don\u2019t just review your documents and agreements, they go\ndeep into research mode to uncover all and any information about your home or\ncottage property. They are tasked with finding out any issues and alert you\naccordingly. For example, they will look for and report on any concerns around:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Liens<\/li><li>Title issues or fraud <\/li><li>Environmental or ecological issues or\nprotections <\/li><li>Land surveys <\/li><li>Cottage concerns such as encroachment, shore\nallowances, general\/winter access and so on<\/li><li>Water or sewage issues <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Master\ndocument drafters<\/strong> <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Legal documents are, well\u2026complicated! There is a\nspecialized writing style that can trip up a lot of people, and frankly, a lot\ncan get overlooked if not done properly. Your home purchase or sale is a legal\ntransaction, and naturally has specific requirements that need to be addressed.\nIt\u2019s the job of your real estate lawyer to draft, review, revise and scrutinize\nevery document, not just the purchase agreement or waivers. While your realtor\nmay be very reputable or experienced, they may have overlooked or omitted\nimportant details if they drafted up the agreement \u2013 so be sure to have a\ntrained, second set of eyes on such an important document. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Keen\nnegotiators and liaison experts <\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your real estate legal team works closely with various other\nparties involved in a property transaction. Did you know that they work with\nyour bank or mortgage lender to finalize\/sort the financials? They will also\nliaise with the other party\u2019s lawyer as well as with the realtors involved to\nmake sure all bases are covered. If they see or hear something that doesn\u2019t\nalign with your best interests, they will address it and advise you\naccordingly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Closers with\nclout <\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The closing of any real estate transaction is always a big\ndeal. Money, deeds, titles, and keys need to be exchanged in a specific, timely\nmanner. Your legal team will guide you through the process, explaining what\nneeds to be signed\u2026when, and by whom, as well as outline your various closing\ncosts and what you can expect during this time. Every sale or purchase of a\nhome, lot, cottage, or condo is unique, so there\u2019s no \u2018cookie-cutter\u2019 way to do\nit. Trust in your legal team to ensure your closing runs as planned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Unbiased,\nprofessionals looking out for YOU <\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your real estate legal team is ethically and legally bound\nto represent you and look after your best interests. It\u2019s not their job to\nconsider the needs of the other parties, real estate representatives,\nsurveyors, inspectors, or even the lenders. Their only concern is you, their\nclient. They will represent you in an unprejudiced, supportive manner and make\nsure they\u2019ve done their job thoroughly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here at Ares Law, our real estate team is not only experienced, reputable and knowledgeable, but we\u2019re also local!
