[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really old post, I know, but I'm looking for a real estate lawyer before signing the contract. Any recommendations?[/quote]

Just out of curiosity, how much would you expect to pay for something like this? My DH is an attorney and we've often thought about me getting a RE license and then going into business together, 2 for 1 so to speak. Have you thought about just getting a really experienced realtor? Some even have law degrees...I would think you'd be better off that way tha with any Joe Schmo lawyer helping you. Real estate contracts are pretty boiler plate. You just fill in the blanks. Purchase price, contingency yes/no, etc.[/quote]

I'm the PP who bumped this thread. I would pay $500 for the consultation with the lawyer to review the contract, make changes, and advise me on renegotiating certain aspects of the contract. Or perhaps if there was a seller rent-back situation, a RE lawyer might be helpful to draft the terms of the lease.

would also want a lawyer for short sale.s

In short, I would want a lawyer for any situation for home buying that did not get covered sufficiently in my opinion by the boiler plate contract.
