Do I Need an Attorney to Handle a Real Estate Transaction?
In Illinois, many people buy homes and commercial properties through a real estate agent, who takes care of the contract and other legal documents. However, real estate agents are paid by commission and are under no obligation to protect your interests in the transaction.
When you hire an attorney, the lawyer will look out for your interests and make sure that you get everything you think you are getting out of the transaction.
