Thanks so much for your response. I thought they would be representing me since I would be the one footing the bill. I had no clue

Wow. Congratulations!!

Hi everyone,

So I'm new to REI and very excited I might add. I just put in a offer on a property owned by the VA. They requested to know the settlement company I was using. I plan on using the settlement co/lawyer that my private lender recommends. However, my real estate agent sounds very concerned about the settlement company due to the fact they are located a couple hours away and he doesn't understand how that will work at closing. The private lender is reputable and filed with BBB so I'm not concerned about them. Should I be concerned about the distance of the settlement company or is my agent being a worry wart?

when should you hire a lawyer? Is a lawyer recommended to review all purchase contacts?

This helps! Thanks for responding.

Hi. 

What are some questions you should ask the contractor you're planning to hire? I have a meeting with him in the am at my first possible flip here in VA.

Thanks
