Why should I contact a lawyer before I sign an agreement?

o   You will find it very difficult to change an agreement after you have signed it.

o   You can insert conditions in the agreement to protect yourself.

o   You can save time and money by preventing any small risks from snowballing into big issues.

o   You will receive independent advice that focuses on your best interests.  Be careful as some people (who don’t have your best interests in mind and act for another person) will try and get you to sign things when you are not ready to sign them.

o   You will be teamed up with someone who understands that buying and selling a property is one of the most emotional and stressful events of your life.
