What is the opinion of the experts, by that, I mean those of you who have bought homes in TV? Did you use a lawyer, and if so, would you do the same again?
I don't think it is kosher for a sales rep to advise you against using an attorney.
You say "I'm a bit skeptical". You are not asking for advice here but you may find it worth the cost to have a lawyer present for peace of mind.
I am a licensed real estate broker, inactive at the moment. I have used lawyers in the past depending on circumstances but I found absolutely no need for one when we closed here.
Somebody mentioned title insurance. I have never been involved in a sale that didn't involve the purchase of title insurance.
