Anyone had experience using an attorney for a real estate transaction? What are the fees usually like?

4 plus years ago I used Christoph here in Medellin and as I recall the total fee for his services was about 2.500.000 pesos and got great value with his services and after months and months of negotiations and multiple meetings with the seller and the bank manager (funds transfer) and only after we closed did I pay the cost.

This was almost 5 years ago and from an independent attorney so I could just imagine that if you go with a firm the cost is more, much more.

A friend closed on an apartment using an attorney. He was quoted a fee but during the process the attorney tacked on other fees without telling him until the end. You'd be well advised to discuss fees in detail.

Closed a deal in Jan/21, didn't use a lawyer. Just had to pay a translator and pay all the associated fees. Bit of leg work, but worth it.

You cannot go wrong with Chris M. he is super honest and incredibly efficient, as well as fairly priced. joe

I used a reputable real estate agency to purchase property and a friend used an agency to sell one. There were no contretemps in either of those transactions. I don't understand why one would add the cost of a lawyer to the purchase or sale of a property in Colombia.
