Do I really need a real estate attorney for a simple home purchase?

In New York, having a real estate attorney isn’t just recommended—it’s often required by lenders and essential for protecting your investment. Even “simple” transactions can have complex legal issues hiding in the contract terms, title history, or local regulations. We’ve seen too many buyers discover expensive problems after closing that could have been prevented with proper legal review. The cost of an attorney upfront is minimal compared to the potential costs of legal problems down the road. Plus, we often save clients money by negotiating better contract terms or catching issues that could derail the deal.

How much does a real estate lawyer cost in Bayside?

Real estate attorney fees in Bayside typically range from $1,500 to $3,000 for residential transactions, depending on the complexity of the deal. Commercial transactions vary more widely based on the property value and legal complexity involved. We provide transparent pricing upfront so you know exactly what to expect. Most clients find that our legal fees are easily offset by the contract improvements we negotiate, the problems we prevent, and the peace of mind we provide. We’d rather discuss your specific situation and give you an accurate quote than throw out generic numbers that might not apply to your case.

What's the difference between a real estate attorney and using the title company's lawyer?

The title company’s attorney represents the title company’s interests, not yours. Their job is to make sure the title company doesn’t face liability—which often aligns with your interests, but not always. When conflicts arise, you need someone who’s clearly on your side. Your own real estate attorney reviews contracts before you sign them, negotiates terms in your favor, and handles issues that benefit you specifically. We catch problems that title company attorneys might overlook because they’re not focused on protecting your investment. Having your own representation ensures someone is looking out for your interests throughout the entire transaction.

When should I contact a real estate attorney during the buying process?

Contact a real estate attorney as soon as you’re serious about making an offer, ideally before you sign anything. Many buyers wait until after they have a signed contract, but that’s often too late to negotiate the best terms. We can review purchase agreements before you commit, suggest protective clauses, and help structure the deal in your favor. If you’re already under contract, that’s fine too—we can still review everything and handle the legal aspects of your closing. The key is getting legal representation early enough to actually protect your interests, not just process paperwork after all the important decisions have been made.

How long does the legal review process take for real estate transactions?

Most contract reviews take 1-2 business days, depending on the complexity of the agreement and any issues we discover. Title examination typically takes 3-5 business days once we receive the title report from the title company. The entire legal process from contract to closing usually spans 30-45 days for residential transactions, though this can vary based on financing, inspections, and any legal issues that need resolution. We work efficiently to keep your transaction on schedule while still being thorough enough to catch potential problems. If we find issues that need attention, we’ll explain what they mean and how they might affect your timeline.

Can you help if there are problems after the real estate closing?

Yes, we handle post-closing real estate disputes and issues. Common problems include title defects that weren’t discovered before closing, boundary disputes with neighbors, contract breaches by the other party, or undisclosed property defects that have legal implications. While it’s always better to prevent problems before closing, sometimes issues only surface afterward. We can evaluate your situation, explain your legal options, and pursue resolution through negotiation or litigation if necessary. The key is acting quickly when post-closing problems arise, as there are often time limits on your ability to seek legal remedies. Contact us as soon as you discover any issues with your property transaction.
