Why Retain Counsel

A title company closes the file. An attorney reads it first.

Virginia does not require a lawyer to close a real estate transaction — but nothing in the process requires that no one is representing your interests, either. Settlement agents and title companies process the paperwork. They do not advise you on it.

An attorney reviews the contract before it's binding, catches title defects before they become your problem, and stands beside your interests specifically — not the transaction's, not the lender's, not the other side's.

That distinction matters most exactly when it's easiest to overlook: at signing, under time pressure, on a document you won't see again until it's time to sell.
