The attorney is starting to sound like a good idea.  For one thing, I've 
been told that realtors don't like to share their commission.  I've even 
heard that there will be quite a stink made if I spend lots of time at 
the seller's realtor's office asking questions, and then show up at the 
last minute with an independent agent to purchase the property.  So now 
I'm reluctant even to call up and ask a question.  So I thought I'd ask 
you guys.  Apparently then, with an attorney I'm informed, plus there's 
no bickering over who gets the commission, so I don't need to fear 
asking questions of the seller's realtor, the person most eager to help.
