I think you have to have one in MA anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-real-estate-lawyer#post-398290 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 23:40:56 +0000 Grace 398290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know how else we would have done it. I wonder if you can legally change ownership of property here (Canada) without one. I'm glad we did have one though. I think the paperwork would have killed me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-real-estate-lawyer#post-398268 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 23:06:39 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 398268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't use one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-real-estate-lawyer#post-398250 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 22:49:52 +0000 Springtime 398250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No we didn't use one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-real-estate-lawyer#post-398243 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 22:42:56 +0000 littlek 398243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-real-estate-lawyer#post-398237 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 22:37:23 +0000 mango.sprays 398237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did. We were first timers, and honestly I don't think I knew that it was optional. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-real-estate-lawyer#post-398193 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 22:04:09 +0000 mrs. bird 398193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't 'hired' one, but we have a lawyer that is/will be helping us. I'm just super lucky to have access to one all the time, if I didn't we'd pay one to help us though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-real-estate-lawyer#post-398191 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 21:58:09 +0000 yoursilverlining 398191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but this was our second home purchase and I'm comfortable with the process. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-real-estate-lawyer#post-398190 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 21:57:41 +0000 immabeetoo 398190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No our purchase was very straightforward and we worked with a buyer's representative that specialized in first time home buyers. I don't remember investigating needing a real estate lawyer.. maybe we should have? But we didn't! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-real-estate-lawyer#post-398184 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 21:52:38 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 398184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did for a particular reason. If the deal was smooth, we wouldn't have! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-real-estate-lawyer#post-398182 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 21:49:57 +0000 prettylizy 398182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely yes. I don't think I could even dream of getting it all done without a lawyer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-real-estate-lawyer#post-398176 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 21:46:45 +0000 autumnlove 398176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: @rachiecakes: I think this short sale is gonna go over my head.
