My Realtor Says I Need A Lawyer?

[Sal DeJulio]

I am a first time home buyer. I have a pending offer into a seller. During conversation, my realtor stated I would need an attorney in later steps. She said she has not done a transaction where there WASNT a lawyer involved. I don't want to pay for something I do not need, especially when this is a simple transaction in my mind. conventional loan, good credit, standard deal in my eyes. Why would I need an attorney if the role of the realtor is to know these real estate documents?
