My property manager uses Buildium and I have been very happy with it as an owner they represent. 

Reason #1:  If you're not careful even a bad lawyer can get it turned into a purchase, with all of the rent credited to the purchase. 

All the best ones I know are full and not taking new clients.I would encourage you to hit this one hard because they get very busy in a month and they have little to no time for anything other than servicing clients after the Holidays, until May.Real estate lawyer - I use and recommend @Brad Schaeppi.

Other than an intro call, I haven't started working with my lawyer, so that's why I haven't asked him.

(I am not a lawyer so none of this is legal advice but have seen similar situations occur). 

The article also fails to mention that overall transaction costs can actually be higher in countries where commissions are lower because the agent plays a different role, and due to needing to pay a lawyer for paperwork that agents complete here as part of their job (called a solicitor in Britain) plus VAT taxes and other closing costs need to factored in on top of the sales commissions, which we don't have here, overall costs can actually be higher even if commissions are lower. 

So, do they really want to hire a lawyer to try and fight you, and have their credit wrecked in the meantime and have a terrible landlord reference? 

Who is the Lawyer against them? 

Is this something I should hire a lawyer/other professional for or can I just do it myself? 

I'm kind of thinking the buyer represented themselves and acted a bit innocent.
