Realtor rushing to get contract signed without lawyer approval

[James Cole]

I have a realtor that is trying to have me sign a contract without my lawyer saying it's good to sign on the 4 of July and the agent from the other party talking they want it by noon today or they will go with another offer the building has been set up for a inspection date already how should this be handle

@James Cole  I'm assuming you are making an offer on a place?  If so, just sign it if you are happy with the terms.  You presumably have inspection and financing contingencies.  I've never had a lawyer involved until after the contingencies are removed.  You can always add a contingency for your lawyer to review the documents within a week.
