    Attorney To Advocate For Buyer In House (fraud?) Case

    Q: The attorney I had hired to help us with this bailed on us this week. The first lawyer who led me to believe he could help represents only real estate agents; he had us going for a year believing he was going to represent us--gave us advice, checked the identification of all parties to be sure there would be no conflicts, etc. This one I think just wimped out--maybe he has other problems, don't know.

    Career Training

This is not always possible. If you decide to...

    Civilian Contractor As A Euphemism ???

    Q: I don't know how things are done in Florida, but in California and Arizona, Realtors basically take the place of an attorney. They write the purchase contract. They negotiate the sale.

    Compete With Another Buyer?

The agent told me it has an offer on it, which has not been accepted yet. If I make an offer, will I be given any idea what the other offer was?

    Manhattan Real Estate

    Q: I am under the impression that real estate in Manhattan is extremely expensive, and that prices for goods are correspondingly expensive. So I was surprised to hear what Joe G. and Rupert charge for their food, which seems very reasonable, no more than what I would pay for similar items here in middle-America suburbia. It makes me wonder how Rupert and Joe can make a living. Is business that good? Does anyone have any idea what Rupert and Joe G. pay for rent? Have they been there since before The Ed Sullivan theatre was...

    Need A Second Opinion Please.

    Q: Before we closed on the house, we saw minor, hairline cracks on the wall we thought due to settling since the extremely dry condition. Less than a week after we closed, the cracks where severe across walls, door corners also began to split. Now we know the problem is much worse.

    Need Help With One-shot Adwords Campaign

    Q: I'm in the process of selling my house. Fortunately I'm in an area that's still a seller's market, bucking national trends. However, because my house is rather unique, the potential market is small. Forget about what everyone says about wanting to live in a rural setting on a large lot... when push comes to shove, those that really want it can't afford it, and those who can afford it would rather live on a golf course. Well, not everyone. Therein lies my market. Unfortunately, I'm under some pressure to find a buyer quickly. Rather than cutting my price...

    Need Info On Antenna Issues In Minneapolis Area

    Q: I am planning to move to the western suburbs of Minneapolis soon, and would like to know if there are any communities that I should specifically "look at" or "avoid" due to restrictions on ham radio antennas or other issues. Even apart from ham radio issues, I prefer rural to urban, but commute time to the areas on the west side of downtown is an issue preventing me from being too far out. Mound is probably the western limit of what I am willing to consider. Right now I am looking at Mound, Champlin, and Maple Grove. My...

    Power Of Attorney

    Q: I was wondering how you would go about setting up a 'power of attorney'. I am in the UK and want to pass this power onto someone in the United States. Is it possible to do this yourself (rather than going through an attorney)? Also, what powers can be granted? (ie, taxes, selling an automobile etc...) A: -Interesting choice of law question.

    Power Of Attorney???

    Q: Can someone explain to me how power of attorney works? How are the terms of it established? Say, if a person was temporarily incapacitated and signed over power of attorney at the time, would the documents have to specifically define the terms of it and how long it is to remain in effect? Or would the person, when recovered, need to DO something to have it terminated? Also, I'm wondering along the same lines about legal guardianship of the person's kids.

He holds the Lease and all document pertaining to the property. He sends me a statement of accounts once a year. About 4 years ago this statement showed a negative balance and I had to make good the deficit. This...

    Real Estate Agencies In Metro Atlanta

    Q: We're house-hunting, just now getting beyond the window shopping phase. One interesting thing we've learned is that some services that one agency wants to put strings on are available free from another, so it pays to shop around. For example, we wanted to receive email notification when houses that fit our search criteria came up in the listings. No problem, said one agency, and signed us right up. I get about a dozen emails a day from them, as the properties turn over. Another agency wanted to have us sign an agreement obligating us to buy only from...

    Real Estate Agent

    Real Estate Attorney

    Q: I'm in need of suggestions for an attorney to assist in a real estate transaction. Any suggestions where to get help other than simply going through the phone book? A: -Assuming you are not selling your own house, call a major realtor and see if they will give you a list of names...or your bank if it makes real estate loans.

    Real Estate Attorney

    Q: The interest rates are so low now we're refinancing (again). The attorney we've used for the last couple of years has now gone on to greener pastures. Will anyone recommend an attorney they a) have used b) can recoomend c) they liked, and, d) charge reasonable rates? A: -You do not *need* an attorney to re-finance your house. If you already own the home and had the title search performed at purchase, it need not be done again. I re-financed my home several times, including getting a home equity loan and never involved an attorney. It is, IMHO,...

    Real Estate Attorney And Inspector?

    Q: I'm going to be buying a house soon in Austin, and was wondering if anybody has recommendations for an attorney and a house inspector. (Names of people to avoid would be good, too A: -He's an exclusive buyer's agent, which means he doesn't have any home listings of his own. Instead, he represents the buyer. Traditional realtors are legally obligated to put the seller's interests over those of the buyer, even if you are not buying a home that they have listed. I got my house through him 4 years ago, and since then he's helped several of...

    Real Estate Closing - Lawyer Needed In Texas?

    Q: Get an attorney or a Real Estate Agent who's mal-practice insurance is on the line. Unless your son is extreemely knowledgable in law and real estate, he is not equipped to protect himself. A: Unless I misread things, your son is not an attorney, and is likely to cause as much trouble as he solves. Sorry. Let me note (I am not licensed in either real estate or law in Texas) that in most cases you really can't have a real estate agent "represent" you at the closing in the same way that an attorney does. Rather, in...
