I just got a nasty email from an attorney working with the buyer of my listing, in Franklin Lakes NJ. It seems she thinks Realtors should stay out of "issues they know nothing about. " --- that would be anything beyond faxing a contract to both attorneys, supplying them with the names and contact numbers of everyone involved, then backing off until the closing. She rambled on about Realtors not being permitted to "practice law" (I had the termerity to ask when she and the other attorney planned to set up the closing time since the closing is, according to the contract, to take place in two days.).
I found this more than a little amusing since her client (I work for the seller, not the buyer --- her client) continues to call me when her attorney doesn't return her calls.
Experience tells me that often Realtors are the ones who put the pieces back together when the attorneys lock horns, and nothing is moving forward. It's great to know the law, but in order to make that law work, you have to actually speak t your client. Sheesh!
