Real Estate Transaction Attorneys

Our Real Estate Attorney Understands Home Buying Laws
Loyally Serving Clients in the Barnwell, Aiken & Bamberg, SC Communities

The decision to buy a home means making a financial commitment that is far unlike anything you’ve ever paid for before. Typically, the final amount is far more than an individual earns in a year. In South Carolina, these real estate transactions must be made with the help of an attorney. While most folks buy their property through the assistance of a real estate agent, there are many situations in which an attorney’s help and guidance end up being more helpful than that of a real estate agent.


Real estate agents may often recommend a closing attorney. Mortgage brokers may also offer to shop for an attorney for you. The choice of attorney, just like the choice of an insurance agent, is no one’s but YOURS. If you are using the attorney recommended by the bank, you may want to consider whether the attorney is going to be acting in your best interest or the bank’s?

Why Hire A Local Real Estate Attorney?

Buying or selling a home is more than a simple transaction, it is a legal transfer of a property from one entity to another. The legal side of this transaction can be very complex, which is why it makes sense for both buyers and sellers to hire a real estate attorney. Real estate attorneys have the knowledge and experience to advise the parties involved in a real estate transaction and are there to look out for their best interests.


Buying or selling a home is a complex process that requires knowledge of and familiarity with local, state, and federal laws. Real estate attorneys help you protect your investment and assets while ensuring that your side of the transaction is conducted legally — which can prevent costly missteps.


While most people work with a realtor when buying or selling a home, many forget the importance of working with a real estate attorney. It is incredibly beneficial to have a real estate attorney on your side to guide you through the process. If you need a real estate attorney, contact the team at Harvey Law Office LLC. We serve those in Barnwell, Bamberg, Aiken, SC, and all of the surrounding communities.

What to Ask Your Real Estate Attorney

The commitment of a new home purchase is similar to that of three to five years of annual income. It’s a major financial purchase, so make sure you have the best lawyer on your side to lead you through this transaction. Don’t let your real estate agent or your banker get a quote for you for your closing fees. Contact an attorney like Harvey Law Office LLC directly and ask for yourself. You’ll want to make sure you’re making the best decision for your finances and are not rushing to sign papers at closing without knowing what you’re agreeing to.


A few things to ask when choosing a real estate attorney in addition to the costs you will be charged:


  • How much of the attorney’s practice is devoted to real estate law?
  • How long has the attorney been practicing in the area?
  • How much experience does his staff have?
  • Who will sit at the closing table with me?
  • Who examines the title to the property I am buying?
  • How much training and annual updates on the law does the attorney and his staff receive?
  • Will I get an explanation of the documents I will be signing?
