Real Estate Transaction Process

How We Handle Your Property Transaction

First, we review your purchase agreement or contract to identify any problematic terms before you’re locked in. This catches issues early when they’re still fixable.

Next, we handle the title search and resolve any liens, judgments, or ownership questions that could complicate your closing. Most buyers don’t realize how common title issues are until they’re scrambling to fix them at the last minute.

Throughout the process, we coordinate with your lender, real estate agent, and the other party’s attorney to keep everything moving toward closing. When problems come up, we handle them directly instead of leaving you to figure it out.

On closing day, we review all final documents, ensure the numbers match what you agreed to, and make sure the deed and title transfer happen correctly.

In New York, you’re not legally required to have an attorney, but it’s one of the smartest investments you can make. Real estate transactions involve complex contracts, title issues, and legal requirements that most people encounter maybe once or twice in their lifetime. A real estate attorney reviews your contract before you sign, identifies potential problems with the property’s title, and ensures your closing goes smoothly. The cost of legal representation is minimal compared to the financial risk you’re taking on when buying property. Most buyers who skip legal representation later wish they hadn’t when problems arise.
Title problems are more common than most buyers realize, but they’re usually fixable when caught early. Common issues include unpaid liens, boundary disputes, missing signatures on previous deeds, or claims from ex-spouses or heirs. We handle the title search process and work directly with title companies to resolve these issues before your closing date. Some problems can be fixed with simple paperwork, while others might require negotiating with previous owners or their attorneys. The key is identifying title issues early in the process so there’s time to fix them without delaying your closing or forcing you to walk away from the property.
Most residential transactions take 30 to 45 days from contract signing to closing, though this can vary based on financing, title issues, and other factors. Commercial transactions often take longer due to additional due diligence requirements. The timeline depends heavily on how quickly your lender processes the mortgage application, whether any title problems need resolution, and how well all parties coordinate their responsibilities. Having an experienced real estate attorney from the beginning helps keep the process on track because we know which issues typically cause delays and can address them proactively. We also coordinate with all parties involved to ensure deadlines are met and paperwork flows smoothly.
The most important elements include the purchase price, closing date, financing contingency terms, and what happens if the deal falls through. You also want clear language about which repairs the seller will handle, what personal property stays with the house, and who pays various closing costs. Many contracts contain clauses that heavily favor the seller, so having an attorney review these terms before you sign is crucial. We look for problematic language around contract cancellation, deposit forfeiture, and dispute resolution that could leave you vulnerable later. The goal is ensuring the contract actually protects your interests instead of just getting the deal done quickly.
Real estate attorney fees in New York typically range from $1,500 to $3,000 for residential transactions, depending on complexity. Commercial transactions usually cost more due to additional due diligence and documentation requirements. This fee covers contract review, title examination, closing coordination, and handling any issues that arise during the process. When you consider that most real estate transactions involve hundreds of thousands of dollars, the legal fee represents a small percentage of your total investment. Many clients find that having proper legal representation actually saves money by catching problems early, negotiating better terms, and preventing costly mistakes that could arise later.
Yes, we handle real estate disputes including problems with agents, sellers, buyers, and other parties involved in transactions. Common disputes involve commission disagreements, contract breaches, disclosure issues, or problems discovered after closing. The approach depends on the specific situation – sometimes a strongly worded letter resolves the issue, while other cases require formal litigation. We evaluate each dispute to determine the most cost-effective resolution strategy. Many real estate disputes can be resolved through negotiation or mediation without going to court, which saves time and money for everyone involved. The key is addressing problems quickly before they escalate into more expensive legal battles.
