Real estate attorney or real estate agent

[Mike Girenko]

Hello BP community,

A question about using real estate attorney... I found a For Sale by Owner property which looks interesting. Should I use a real estate agent to purchase it, or a real estate attorney? I understand that I will need to pay an agent his commission, but will it be more or less expensive than using an attorney? Any other advantages if I use attorney and not an agent?

Thank you!
