Should I hire a real estate attorney at this point in my home buying process? I understand the value of having an attorney review everything during a home sale...

So if the title insurance is paid for and in place, and the contract is already executed, what could a lawyer do for me besides provide reassurance? I am not sure that reassurance is worth the money.

Trying to sell a home without a real estate agent. First time home seller. How is this done? My community has multiple homes for sale, so it makes no sense for me to use an agent when I can utilize the existing marketing. I need to know the general idea of how the process works (from start to finish). But I do have some specific questions: -Once a buyer and I agree on a selling price, I assume I need to make it official by documenting the price on a selling agreement and having that contract executed by both parties. Where do I obtain all of the legal forms (selling agreement, etc) for selling my home? -I have heard that once a home sells, the buyers mortage company will have recommended real estate legal services that can handle the closing. Is this true? or should I find an independent real estate attorney to handle the closing? As you can tell, I don't know much about the process. If someone can take me from start of the process to finish, that would be great! Thanks for the help...
