- Hire a real estate attorney to look over any contract before you sigh.
- Make sure it's a real estate attorney. Expect to pay $75-100 per hour.
- It will be worth it.
-
- Make sure the sales contract allows you to have the home inspected by a
- professional inspector, and that the sellers must fix all items.
-
- Get someone to use the MLS service in your area and find out how much
- they paid for the house. If it is no longer in the MLS system, go to the
- country court house and ask to see the land records.. It will be there
- somewhere. Most MLS systems also carry the land records too. Our county
- does. You can then tell what they paid, what their mortgage amount is,
- etc..
-
- Go with your gut feeling on whether this is the "right" deal.
-
- Good Luck.
