Can I Ask My Real Estate Agent For Legal Or Financial Advice?
Category - Real Estate Information - General Real Estate Information
No, a Real Estate agent or broker (unless licensed to practice law or provide financial services) is not allowed to provide legal or financial advise to his/her clients.  However, the agent may be helpful in providing referrals to the appropriate institutions or service providers, based on their expertise and network.  If a real estate agent provides the client with a referral, it is the responsibility of the buyer to independently interview and research any information received and select the service provider of his/her choice. You can ask to consult a real estate attorney for a consultation if your situation is complicated. Some lawyers provide free consultation.
