Are you guys saying that a real estate attorney is NOT required at closing in some states?? That's insane.
My closing took almost 3 hours and that's WITH an attorney there (NY) explaining things to me and and guiding me along. A real estate agent on the otherhand...
I think PSurfer and I are saying exactly the same thing - the only person required is the attorney.
It's my belief that the bank's loan officer and a good attorney are the only folks you need to buy a house. I'm quite surprised that other folks are really that reliant upon brokers.
