Do You Really Need a Lawyer to Buy a House in Oregon Real Reddit Questions, Answered With Oregon Law

Oregon isn’t an attorney-closing state, so nothing requires a lawyer when you buy a house. That’s exactly why so many buyers wonder whether they need one at all. This video follows two Reddit threads: a Portland homeowner who wants to buy the house next door off-market, and a couple hoping to buy from friends without paying a 5-6% commission. You’ll hear what commenters suggested, which parts hold up under Oregon practice, and where the advice falls short. Jennifer Towne explains what a title company does and what it doesn’t, why a flat-fee attorney review often fits a simple sale, and why Oregon has no state-approved purchase contract. She also covers what a buyer should check before closing on a house, or on vacant land where there is no building to fall back on. If you’re buying, selling, or thinking about a private sale, this is a good ten minutes to watch before you sign anything.
