Why this office
From contract to keys
Title questions, survey issues, and last-minute lender requests are normal. The point of counsel is to catch problems before they become your problem at the table.
Personalized attention
You work with an attorney who will take the time to understand what this property means for you - a first home, an investment, or a family transfer.
Dispute resolution when needed
Not every matter is a friendly closing. When negotiation or litigation is required to protect your rights, you want an advocate who is already in the file.
What to do next
01
Review before you sign
Purchase contracts, riders, and disclosure documents deserve a careful read. Bring them in early - not the night before closing.
02
Clear communication
You will know what is outstanding, what the title company needs, and what you must bring to closing. Surprises help no one.
03
Protect the equity you are building
Deeds, easements, and “we’ll fix it later” side agreements can follow you for years. Get them right the first time.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a lawyer to close on a house in New York?
New York is an attorney-closing state in practice for most residential deals. Having your own lawyer - not just the lender’s or the other side’s - means someone is looking out for you.
When should I call in a real estate attorney?
Ideally before you sign a purchase offer or listing agreement with unusual terms. After a contract is signed, call as soon as a title exception, inspection issue, or delay appears.
Can you help with a property dispute that is not a closing?
Yes. Boundary questions, deposit fights, and other disputes still need an advocate who understands both the paperwork and the people involved.
Is real estate billed on a contingency fee?
No. Real estate and transactional work are typically billed on a flat or hourly basis that is explained up front. Contingency fees apply to qualifying injury cases, not closings.
