Reviewing and negotiating the purchase contract, examining the title for liens or defects, reviewing the lender and closing documents, and representing you at the closing. Title insurance, recording fees, and the broader closing costs are separate.

Eugene, OR Title / escrow state

Oregon is a title/escrow state: a title or escrow company usually closes the purchase, so a buyer’s attorney is optional — though many buyers still hire one to review the contract before signing and to check title.

House purchase attorneys in Oregon typically charge a flat fee for the buyer’s side of a residential transaction, separate from closing costs and the down payment. The most valuable time to involve one is before you sign the purchase contract, when terms and contingencies can still be changed.
