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 experiences you will 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. If you would like to speak with someone from our firm about a real estate transaction, contact our office. A real estate lawyer will get back to you, usually on the same day.
If you are buying new construction, you should have the purchase contract reviewed by a real estate lawyer before signing.
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.
Our lawyers are accessible - when you have a question, they are there to answer.
During the process of buying a 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 call with a question.
Title problems? Our attorneys 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 is a probate or estate administration matter. 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 process.
