Anyone reading this thread for advice, rather than just to shoot the

True. Although some states require no attorney for real estate
transactions.
But this thread is discussing homestead exemptions as a means to protect
assets from creditors. A non-attorney real estate agent can close a
sale, but cannot give advice on homesteads. And since homestead
exemptions vary by state, what happens in, say, Texas is irrelevant if
you don't live in Texas.
