How much will a real estate attorney cost?

Asking people you know, who recently sold or bought a house, is a great place to start looking for a quality real estate attorney. You might be recommended by someone they know who had a good experience with one. You can also get referrals from friends and family who have used a real estate attorney and ask about their experience with them. 

The fee for an attorney, if you are selling a residential property, will likely be between $500 and $3,000 or more. However, the higher the complexity, the more your real estate attorney will charge. An example: If you sell a condo, your lawyer may charge a flat rate of $950. You should expect to pay $3,000 or more if your real estate transaction involves more complexity. The amount you'll spend will depend on the complexity of the transaction and the level of legal expertise you're looking for.

To help you sell your house, a real estate lawyer is necessary. While they can help you with pricing and negotiation, it is best to choose an attorney who is experienced in this area of work. Some real estate attorneys offer discount flat fees for their services, but these firms should be avoided because they may be paid through the title insurance commissions.

Depending on the complexity of the transaction, real estate attorneys may charge an hourly rate. A deed preparation lawyer can charge $500, while a full-service real estate closing attorney may cost up to $1,000 or more. The specific role of each attorney and the size of the firm will determine the final fee. Some real estate attorneys handle the entire closing process while others only provide advice and general transaction counsel.
