Hello,
Congratulations! Buying a house is an exciting milestone and should be treated as such. It can be stressful, but having the right team will alleviate much of the stress. Make sure you find a lender and realtor that you trust and will take the time to answer your questions. Additionally, a real estate attorney like myself would be a great addition to the team. Depending on the contract, you may be choosing the title agent. Title companies often do not have an attorney involved- stay away! For the same price, you can have an attorney guide you and act as closing agent- ensuring the process goes smoothly and painlessly and you are fully protected. If you do not feel comfortable asking people on your team the questions you have about the home buying process, then find a new team member. This is one of the biggest purchases of your life, make sure it is treated as such.
