- Start searching for a real estate law firm early – if you already have a relationship with a law firm to help you with other legal issues, check to see if they are experienced in real estate transactions.
- Find a qualified attorney before you start the purchase or sale process. A good real estate law firm will be able to advise you about the best real estate professionals to assist you, such as a real estate agent, mortgage loan officer, and home inspector.
- Contact the state bar association for a real estate law firm referral. The Massachusetts Bar Association can provide recommendations real estate law firms or firms that service the community in which your transaction is occurring.
- Ask for a recommendation from friends, family members, or colleagues you trust who may have used or know of an experienced real estate law firm.

- Search online for real estate law firms.
- Visit the websites of local real estate law firms. Check to see if they are truly a real estate firm, with attorneys who actively practice real estate law and handle sales and purchases.
