As a buyer of a small condo in Bloomington, do I need a real estate lawyer to read over my contract?

The contract looks relatively standard and I understand most of it. Plus we have already signed (but closing is not until mid August). Even so, is it normal to have a real estate lawyer read it over and advise us before closing?

Yes, I would advise you retain a lawyer. You will need assistance with the Closing Statement. Also, you will need title insurance (every states is different), but usually you can the legal advice if you give the title/closing to your lawyer who will assist you with all aspects of the closing.
