The Sale or Purchase of a Home Can Be a Traumatic Experience
Any legal or business transaction involves risk and anxiety, but the sale or purchase of a home has been shown to be one of the most stressful events a person will ever experience. It is our great pleasure to help individuals and families through this process, from the drafting or reviewing of a purchase or sale contract to the final home closing.
Contract Review: Before You Buy Real Estate
Our attorneys have found that new construction purchase contracts often include large costs hidden in the fine print. These unexpected fees, transfer taxes and charges can add thousands of dollars to the buyer's expenses at closing. Having quality legal representation is a good investment when you are buying a home.
We Are Accessible. When You Have a Question, We Are There to Answer.
During the process of buying a house, condo or co-op, a property for sale by owner, or commercial property, you may have concerns. We are a neighborhood firm, and it is easy to stop by and sit down with your attorney, or just call with a question.
We routinely help clients with the purchase or sale of co-ops and condominiums throughout New York City.
Title Problems? We Can Help.
We help clients clear up title problems on properties they plan on selling, making the title clear to close. If necessary, we will refer the owner to an architect or engineer to bring the building up to code and get the necessary certificate of occupancy or compliance and certificate of completion.
Real Estate, or Estate Administration — What is the Real Issue?
An inherited property may turn out to have a cloudy title, and the real issue can only be resolved through probate or estate administration. Since our attorneys have years of experience in both areas, they are able to provide seamless and comprehensive service to clients who find themselves involved in such a situation.
Can You Get a Bargain at a Foreclosure Sale?
Maybe. You should have a title search done before bidding on any property being sold at auction, so you know exactly what you are buying.
Cooperatives
We also help people interested in buying into a cooperative apartment. Our lawyers can assist you with all aspects of the transaction, from reviewing documents to helping with applications for approval. Whatever is required, we have the experience to walk you through the entire process.
