More details to this question:
Should it be before signing a listing agreement with an agent ? Should it be after receiving an offer in the form of a contract from a potential buyer? or is there another time that triggers the hiring process?

I think you should get a lawyer after you sign the listing agreement but before you sign a contract. There is only a short three day period between signing the contract in which the lawyer can review it so once you sign the lawyer has to be ready to get and review the contract.
