I signed a grant bargain and sale deed with the seller. I did not record this though I only recorded the memorandum of contract. So the lawyer was basically saying I didn't own the house. He wanted to know who taught me to do this. I didn't answer his rude questions I simply said what do we need to do to close this deal. We are going to record the deed simultaneously from seller to me and then from me to my buyer at closing, as they had their own financing. I also got the buyer to pay for this as I was not going to.
As far as lawyers go I agree with your statement. I agreed to let the buyers choose closing agent as they knew someone. Turns out they didn't know this lawyer they knew someone at the mortgage company and this lawyer is who the mortgage company uses.
This whole deal has been a learning experience for me and I have learned what not to do next time that is for sure.
