    The Real Estate Attorney: Your MA Transaction Hero

    Unlike many states, Massachusetts is an 'Attorney State.' This means your lawyer isn't just a luxury-they are a requirement for closing.

    What They Do

    • Title Search: Ensuring no 'ghosts' of past owners or liens haunt your property.
    • P&S Negotiation: Refining the Purchase and Sale agreement to protect your deposit.
    • Closing Agent: Coordinating with the lender to ensure the deed is recorded correctly.

    The Value

    A great attorney in Back Bay or Cambridge can save a deal when complex condo docs or historic easements threaten to derail it.
