Legal Advice Is Important When Buying or Selling a Home

COLTS NECK, N.J. - July 13, 2014 - PRLog -- It has been said that other than getting married and having children, buying a home is the most important decision of your life.

Different areas of New Jersey have different customs as far as real estate transactions are concerned. Generally speaking, in most of Central and Northern New Jersey, buyers and sellers of real estate take advantage of the three-day “attorney review” period, which begins once the contract is signed. All Real Estate contracts in New Jersey, if written by a non-lawyer (real estate agent, seller, etc.) are required to have the “attorney review” language included in the contract.

It is best to secure an attorney before you begin looking for a home, so that your realtor knows where to send the contract once it’s signed, and the “attorney review” period can be started and concluded quickly. During the attorney review period, the attorney will be able to amend the contract to remove overly-harsh terms that are usually present in form contracts, as well as being able to tailor the contract to the particular needs of the buyer or seller, such as: contingencies for mortgages, inspections, or the sale or purchase of another home, underground oil tanks, and other issues that can range from lender requirements to short sales.
