Understanding Contingencies Before You Make an Offer

One of the most important decisions every buyer faces is which contingencies to include in their offer — and whether to waive any of them in a competitive market. In Massachusetts, the inspection contingency, financing contingency, and appraisal contingency each protect you in different ways. Know what you’re giving up before you give it up.

The Role of a Real Estate Attorney in Massachusetts

Massachusetts is an attorney closing state — unlike most of the country, every real estate transaction here requires a licensed attorney to conduct the title search, prepare the deed, and oversee the closing. Understanding who the attorney represents (the lender, the buyer, or both), what they’re responsible for, and when you might want your own independent attorney gives you better control over the process.

The closing attorney’s fees appear in your closing costs, typically running $900-$1,500 for a standard transaction. For complex situations — probate sales, properties with title issues, or deals with unusual terms — having your own independently retained attorney in addition to the closing attorney provides an extra layer of protection.
