Jason,
There are all sorts of contracts, disclosures, etc. out there. After you get some experience and strike out on your own, you may want to change from the documents that you had been using. Who ever negotiates for you, will probably want input as well as some lender specific forms. If the attorney is not willing to let you use his documents, at least you will know what to look for in other documents. Good questions! A bigger question to consider would be “Who owns the contacts that you make while bird dogging for the attorney?†Quality service and outcomes lead to more business and referrals.

They'll be handling all the other forms.
I don't even think I will be connected to the contacts. I just find the seller and he'll find the buyer. He'll negotiate everything. This sounds more like property locating aka bird dogging.
I asked her about doing short sale deals outside of the partnership;
she said that no other organization has the backing of the state's board of realtors and their processes and for me to use another's contracts is just me playing with fire.
What do you think?
