Real Estate Attorney Process

Here's How We Handle Your Transaction

First, we review your purchase contract or sale agreement line by line. You’ll know exactly what you’re agreeing to before you sign anything. No surprises, no wondering what that legal language actually means.

Next, we handle the title examination and coordinate with your lender, real estate agent, and the other party’s attorney. This is where most delays happen, so we stay on top of every detail to keep your closing on schedule.

At closing, we’re there to walk you through every document you’re signing. We explain what each paper means and make sure the numbers match what you expected. After closing, we handle the deed recording and make sure you get copies of everything you need.

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

Yes, especially in New York where real estate law is complex and mistakes are expensive. Even “simple” transactions can have issues that cost thousands if not caught early. A real estate attorney reviews your contract before you sign, examines the title for problems, and handles the closing to make sure everything is done correctly. The attorney fee is typically a small fraction of your total transaction cost, but the protection you get is invaluable. Most buyers who skip legal representation wish they hadn’t when issues arise.

What's the difference between using my real estate agent and hiring an attorney?

Real estate agents help you find properties and negotiate deals, but they can’t provide legal advice or handle legal documents. Only attorneys can review contracts for legal issues, examine titles for defects, and represent you if disputes arise. Your agent works to close the deal, while your attorney works to protect your interests in that deal. They serve different but complementary roles. In New York, having both an agent and attorney is standard practice because the legal complexities require professional legal representation.

How much does a real estate attorney cost in Fort Salonga?

Real estate attorney fees in the Fort Salonga area typically range from $800 to $1,500 for residential transactions, depending on complexity. Commercial deals and transactions with complications may cost more. Most attorneys charge a flat fee for standard purchase or sale transactions, so you know the cost upfront. This fee covers contract review, title examination, closing attendance, and deed recording. When you consider that this protects an investment of hundreds of thousands of dollars, the attorney fee is a smart investment in your financial security.

What happens if problems are found with the title to my property?

Title problems are more common than most buyers realize, but they’re usually fixable before closing. Common issues include unpaid liens, survey discrepancies, or missing signatures on previous deeds. When we find title issues during our examination, we work with the title company and the seller’s attorney to resolve them. Most problems can be cleared up with proper documentation or payments. In rare cases where title issues can’t be resolved, you may need to walk away from the transaction, but title insurance typically protects you from losses.

Can you help if I'm having a dispute with my neighbor about property boundaries?

Yes, property boundary disputes are a common part of real estate law. These disputes often involve fence locations, driveway placement, or disagreements about property lines. We start by reviewing your deed and survey to understand the legal boundaries. Sometimes a new survey is needed to clarify the exact property lines. Many boundary disputes can be resolved through negotiation, but if necessary, we can represent you in court. The key is addressing these issues quickly before they escalate or affect your property value.

Do you handle both commercial and residential real estate transactions?

Yes, we handle both commercial and residential real estate throughout Fort Salonga and Long Island. Residential work includes home purchases, sales, refinancing, and residential investment properties. Commercial services include office buildings, retail spaces, industrial properties, and multi-family investments. Commercial transactions are typically more complex, involving zoning issues, environmental concerns, and detailed lease reviews. Having experience in both areas means we understand how different property types affect your legal needs and can adjust our approach accordingly to protect your interests.
