Would Real Estate attorney have reason to push/pressure closing?
I am in the process of purchasing a property, but carefully evaluating it during inspection period. Some items have come up.
It's not an expensive property or an investment property, and I feel my real estate agent and real estate attorney are pushing me to purchase it. They attorney is basically telling me it's a good deal/this/that and it seems to be biased. I PERSONALLY feel the attorney should be neutral and alert me to red flags and lay out my options.
I 100% understand why my real estate AGENT would push me, so ... I 100% get that, no questions there.
But I don't understand why the attorney would. I do believe they are getting paid regardless at this stage. They may get a little more if the property closes, but it's not a lot of $.
Does anybody have a comment? 1) I'm curious, and 2) I'm trying to decode their statements.
