Career of the Month: Real Estate Attorney
[https://mcusercontent.com/0d0244cb97426858e89e8fe0f/images/e80cbc99-f228-a6b3-76fc-6ce4d9629a84.jpg]

Real estate lawyers help clients with title issues and environmental and insurance issues. They review and prepare appraisals, inspections, leases, and purchase agreements. They draft documents such as financial and rental agreements, leases, and deeds for higher-priced purchases or conveyance transactions. They participate in trials and hearings, file appeals, and draft documents and legal pleadings. Attorneys also bargain and negotiate on behalf of clients and help them to reach settlement agreements. A real estate lawyer typically works out the estimated value of a property in anticipation of a sale, mortgage, renovations, and more. They have various duties which include verifying records and descriptions of properties, inspections, photographing properties, making comparisons with nearby properties, and writing reports that estimate the value of the property. It’s an important role in real estate, ensuring the most accurate information is provided when it comes to the value of a property. Real estate attorneys fall into two categories: Litigators, who typically represent a client in court and at the trial of a matter, while Transactional Attorneys are responsible for preparing the contracts and agreements for matters relating to real estate ownership. Real estate lawyers help clients with legal issues related to residential and commercial real estate, tenants and neighbors, commercial leasing, construction and private property ownership. Lawyers assist with transfer of real estate property, including purchase and sale. They help clients deal with the legal aspect of rental property and defend the rights of owners, landlords, renters, and tenants. Real estate lawyers specialize in land use, zoning, property development, and foreclosure.

Lawyers help clients to make estate transactions and deal with different problems. Lawyers review and prepare real estate documents, file liens, and draft deeds. They ensure that no liens, easements, and covenants are registered against the real estate property. Attorneys create and register documents on behalf of clients, check for adjustments, modify the terms of contracts and agreements, and negotiate the terms of sales and purchase agreements. To this, they work with investors, brokers, developers, and other attorneys. All lawyers must undergo higher education in order to qualify as an attorney. Completing a bachelor’s degree is the first step, and many people will choose an economics or business degree to support their future legal careers.You will then need to complete the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT), to be admitted to a law school, where you will earn a Juris Doctor (JD) degree. Law school typically takes 3–4 years and will require a lot of studying and hard work during this time. After completing your law degree, you’ll then need to pass the Bar exam before you are able to practice law. This will then be followed up by earning certain certifications related to the type of law you wish to specialize in. With your education complete, you’ll then need to obtain certain licenses to enable you to practice as a real estate attorney. For those working on federal appraisal transactions, you’ll need a federal license, which is granted by the state of California. You can get further information on appraisal licensing from the Appraisal Foundation.
