Hunters Point Real Estate Lawyers

We Know This Market Inside Out

The Frank Law Firm P.C. has been handling real estate transactions in Queens for years. We’ve seen this neighborhood transform from industrial waterfront to luxury residential hub.

That local knowledge matters when you’re dealing with Hunters Point’s unique mix of new construction, converted buildings, and complex zoning requirements. We know which developers cut corners, which buildings have hidden issues, and how to navigate the approval processes that trip up other attorneys.

Your deal gets the attention it deserves. Not the assembly-line treatment you’d get from the big Manhattan firms.

Real Estate Transaction Process

How We Handle Your Deal

First, we review your contract before you’re locked in. Most people call us after they’ve already signed something. Smart clients call us before. We spot the problematic clauses and negotiate better terms while you still have leverage.

Next, we handle all the due diligence. Title search, survey review, lien checks, building violations, certificate of occupancy issues. The boring stuff that can cost you thousands if it’s done wrong.

Finally, we manage your closing. We coordinate with all parties, review the final numbers, and make sure you’re not signing anything that contradicts what you agreed to. You walk away with clear title and no surprises.

Closing coordination and representation. We handle the logistics so your deal actually happens when it’s supposed to. And if problems come up, we solve them instead of just explaining why they can’t be fixed.

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

New York requires attorney representation for real estate transactions, but even if it didn’t, you’d want one. Real estate contracts are written to protect sellers and developers, not buyers. A good attorney levels the playing field by catching the clauses that could cost you money later. In Hunters Point especially, where many buildings are new construction or recent conversions, there are often issues with certificates of occupancy, building violations, or incomplete work that won’t show up until after you’ve closed. We find these problems while you can still walk away or negotiate fixes.

How much do real estate attorney fees typically cost in NYC?

Most real estate attorneys in Queens charge between $1,500 and $3,000 for a residential transaction, depending on complexity. Commercial deals vary more widely based on size and structure. We’re transparent about our fees upfront – no surprise bills at closing. The key is understanding what you’re paying for. Cheap legal work often means corners get cut on due diligence, which can cost you far more than you saved. We’ve seen people lose tens of thousands because their attorney missed a lien or didn’t properly review the building’s financial statements.

What happens if issues come up during the due diligence period?

That’s exactly when you want an experienced attorney on your side. Common issues include title problems, building violations, survey discrepancies, or financial issues with co-op or condo buildings. We negotiate with the other party to resolve these problems – sometimes the seller fixes them, sometimes they credit you money at closing, sometimes we use them as leverage to renegotiate the price. The worst thing you can do is panic and walk away from a good deal over fixable problems. But you also don’t want to close on a property with serious unresolved issues.

How long does the typical real estate closing process take?

In New York, most residential closings take 45-60 days from contract signing to closing. Commercial deals often take longer. The timeline depends on factors like mortgage approval, building approval (for co-ops), title issues, and how quickly all parties respond to requests. We keep your deal moving by staying on top of all the moving pieces and pushing back when other parties cause unnecessary delays. One of the biggest frustrations buyers face is deals that drag on for months because someone isn’t doing their job. We don’t let that happen.

Can you handle both residential and commercial real estate transactions?

Yes, we handle both residential and commercial deals throughout Queens and the broader NYC area. Hunters Point has a good mix of both, from luxury condos to office buildings and retail spaces. Commercial transactions are more complex – they involve more due diligence, environmental reviews, zoning compliance, and lease reviews if there are existing tenants. But the fundamental skills are the same: understanding contracts, spotting problems before they become expensive, and negotiating terms that protect your interests. Whether you’re buying your first apartment or your tenth investment property, the attention to detail is the same.

What should I do if a real estate dispute arises after closing?

Contact us immediately. The sooner we get involved, the more options you have for resolving the problem. Common post-closing disputes include undisclosed defects, title issues, boundary disputes, or problems with seller representations. Some issues can be resolved through negotiation or insurance claims. Others require litigation. The key is acting quickly – many real estate claims have strict time limits, and evidence gets harder to gather as time passes. We’ve successfully resolved disputes over everything from undisclosed water damage to sellers who failed to disclose building violations.
