Help On Contracts......
Hi all, i have a purchase contract and i understand it but not a 100%.. i wanted to know where can i go to get someone to help me review the contract instead of going to an attorney.. because attorneys usually charge $200 an hour and i dont want to pay that much...any ideas ?? thanks
Use an attorney... $200 compare to the cost of your investment is worth it.
you are rite...thanks...
if you really want to "skimp" on dallars you can try one of the pre-paid legal websites and submit your contracts to them -just make sure their advise applies to your part of the www.country.I would still go to a local re attorney if you could -just price around.
Try your real estate agent. They will go over line by line for you and answer and questions you have.

my realtor actually has an inhouse attorney that will review the contract as part of thier service. yours may to.
my attorney does not charge me for contract preparations if I use their office to close the deal. They are the same price as the local title companies AND I get some good advice and contracts from her. Just a suggestion.
Many states have standard purchase contracts. That may not be so in your part of the country where attorneys are used to close RE transactions, but if your contract is a standard contract for NY, then a real estate agent should be able to explain it to you.[ Edited by edmeyer on Date 12/09/2004 ]
