Though most people who need a real estate attorney are looking for help with the purchase or sale of residential or commercial property, real estate attorneys do far more than that. Their practice extends to land use, development, leasing contracts, financing, and litigation. If you are looking for a real estate attorney in South Jersey, there are a number of things that you should take into consideration, including their experience and knowledge in the particular area that you need help with.

If you are looking for a real estate attorney to help you purchase or sell a home, it is important that you choose a professional who has extensive experience. This is particularly true when the purchase is complicated by short sale or foreclosure. Real estate agents are not qualified or allowed to provide you with legal advice, so it is vital that you have somebody who you can rely upon to act as your advocate and guide. In order to determine whether a real estate lawyer has the knowledge and qualifications that you are looking for, it is a good idea to meet with them and ask them the following questions:

• How much experience do you have in practicing real estate law? You want to make sure that beyond having graduated from an accredited law school, they have practiced for several years and are familiar with real estate law in your state.
• How many transactions like yours has the attorney handled? Though many lawyers have handled straightforward transactions, if your case is complicated you want to make sure that the lawyer isn’t ‘learning as they go” on your case.
• What additional benefits can working with you provide me in my real estate transaction?
• What is your billing process? It is important that you clarify exactly how your real estate attorney will bill you before you begin to work with them. Some work on a flat fee basis, while others work on an hourly basis.
• Will you be the person who is working on my case, or will someone else be doing the work? If you are choosing a professional based upon the sense of comfort you feel with them, then you want to make sure that you’re not going to be handed off to somebody else at a later point.
