Real Estate Attorney & Off Market Transaction Recommendations

[Russ Odom]

Howdy BP,

I am working with a homeowner directly to purchase an off-market, single family home in Austin, TX.  I have contacted two real estate attorneys to help with contract process and do not feel 100% confident after speaking with them.. 

Do you have experience with off-market transactions like this - can you help with any of the below? 

- Real estate attorneys that you would recommend?  

- Real Estate agents that help with a transaction for a flat fee, as opposed to percentage of transaction?  The property is identified, negotiations settled, title company selected, just looking for guidance on the operational and legal components of the transaction.

- Afford 10 minutes of talk time to discuss the process more broadly, educating a relatively new investor?  This will be my 6th RE transaction, 1st time finding the deal and pushing forward on my own without a realtor.

I appreciate any guidance and recommendations.  Let me know if you have questions or want to know more details!
