+1 This was our experience too. There's really no role for them. But we just checked the boxes to submit our own offers or the sellers agent did it for us. Then the settlement attorney does the rest once a contract is ratified.

What role does the real estate attorney have in reviewing the standard form and asking you which boxes to check?[/quote]

If you feel comfortable with all the options on the standard form, you definitely don't need an attorney to review it before you submit.  But there are some things people may not have a full handle on, or aren't used to the nuances of each jurisdiction.  I could see it being worth having a lawyer spend a couple of hours reviewing the listing and your info, discussing each option with you to make sure you understand it, and going over the form once more before submission.  For a lot of people that's probably worth $750-1000.  But yeah if it's not your first rodeo you don't necessarily need that.[/quote]
