Do I need a lawyer to buy a home?

Hi, Do I need a lawyer to buy a home? This will be my first house purchase. If I need a lawyer, do I need to find a lawyer before I search for a house?

Henry, you do not need a lawyer to buy a home in Colorado. The transfer of ownership is done through a trust company. Your Realtor will know of several. You can use a lawyer to review your documents but it is not required. Best of luck!

Some states require attorneys, other require title companies. Best to contact a local realtor and find out what yours requires.

You do not need an attorney in Colorado for a real estate transaction. An attorney is always recommended especially in complicated transactions but as a rule of thumb...no you do not need an attorney. You need a great realtor that can guide you through the process of buying for the first time which is by the way....the best!
