 Yes, not sure what %, but it will be something.

 It's a hefty commission if they close, nothing if they don't in this state.

The attorney gets paid either way, and it's not a lot either way

 Why would a real estate attorney be desperate to close?

 Just pumping up the deal and defending the seller (who has been late on a few things).

Just wondering what reason they would have.

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.
