Christian Osgood explains why you need a lawyer licensed in the state where you're buying property, not your home state. He uses Washington lawyers for Washington deals and Texas lawyers for Texas deals. State-specific expertise matters for real estate transactions.

Usually you should use a lawyer in the state where you're buying; for Oklahoma, use an Oklahoma‑licensed real‑estate attorney.

Quick question. So I have connections to real estate lawyers here in Sacramento. Should I use Sacramento ones? Or if I'm buying in Oklahoma, should I use ones in the state I'm buying in?
Usually in the state you're buying in, and that's usually what your lawyers would say in Sacramento is like, yeah, you probably want to have someone who specializes in Oklahoma transaction. That's always been what I've done. If I'm doing work in Washington, Washington lawyers, work in Texas, Texas lawyers. Cool. Thank you. Yeah.
