If you are considering buying or selling a home or property, you should consult a real estate attorney before you sign an offer. An offer, despite what well-intentioned real estate professionals might tell you to the contrary, is a legally binding contract between the buyer and seller that defines the rights and duties of the parties. Those rights and duties may be altered or further defined in the purchase and sale agreement; however, failure to sign a purchase and sale agreement may still result in the parties being bound by the offer's terms and conditions.

Preferably, you should consult with a real estate lawyer as soon as you know you are going to buy a house or condominium or as soon as you know you want to put your house or condominium up for sale. This means you should contact a real estate lawyer even before you call in a real estate broker.
