Real Estate Closing Process

Here's How We Handle Your Transaction

First, we review your purchase contract before you sign anything. We look for problematic clauses, unrealistic timelines, and terms that could cost you money later. If we spot issues, we negotiate changes that protect your interests.

Next, we coordinate with your lender, the seller’s attorney, and the title company to keep everything moving toward closing. We handle the title search, review survey documents, and address any liens or encumbrances on the property.

At closing, we walk through every document with you so you understand what you’re signing. We make sure all funds are properly distributed and that you receive clear title to your property. After closing, we handle the deed recording and provide you with copies of all important documents.

Real estate attorney fees in Oakland Gardens typically range from $1,500 to $3,000 for residential transactions, depending on the complexity of the deal. Commercial transactions usually cost more due to additional due diligence requirements. We provide transparent pricing upfront so you know exactly what to expect.

New York State doesn’t legally require an attorney for real estate transactions, but it’s standard practice and highly recommended. Queens real estate contracts are complex documents with terms that can significantly impact your financial obligations. An experienced real estate lawyer catches problems before they become expensive mistakes. We’ve seen buyers lose thousands of dollars because they signed contracts without proper legal review. Issues like unclear closing dates, problematic inspection clauses, or unfavorable financing contingencies can derail your purchase or cost you money. The attorney fee is small compared to the protection you receive.
Title issues are more common than most buyers realize, but they’re usually fixable with proper legal guidance. Common problems include outstanding liens, boundary disputes, or errors in previous deeds. When we discover title issues, we work with the title company and seller’s attorney to resolve them before closing. Some issues require the seller to pay off old liens or obtain releases from previous lenders. Others might need corrective deeds or boundary line agreements. We explain each issue clearly and advise you on whether to proceed, negotiate repairs, or walk away from the deal if problems can’t be resolved satisfactorily.
Most residential closings in Oakland Gardens take 45 to 60 days from contract signing to closing day. Co-op purchases often take longer due to board approval processes, sometimes extending to 90 days. Commercial transactions vary widely depending on due diligence requirements and financing complexity. Several factors affect timing including mortgage approval, title search results, inspection issues, and seller cooperation. We coordinate with all parties to keep your transaction on schedule and alert you immediately if delays arise. Having an experienced real estate attorney from the start helps prevent many common delays that can push back your closing date.
Commercial real estate transactions involve additional complexities like zoning compliance, environmental assessments, lease reviews, and business licensing requirements. Commercial attorneys also handle more sophisticated financing arrangements and due diligence investigations. However, many real estate attorneys, including our firm, handle both residential and commercial transactions effectively. The key is working with someone who understands the specific requirements of your transaction type. Commercial deals typically require more time for due diligence and involve higher stakes, but the fundamental legal principles remain similar. We adjust our approach based on whether you’re buying a home or investing in commercial property.
Yes, we regularly help clients navigate troubled transactions and explore their options when deals hit roadblocks. Common issues include financing problems, inspection disputes, appraisal shortfalls, or seller disclosure issues. Sometimes deals can be saved through contract modifications, deadline extensions, or creative problem-solving. Other times, the best advice is to terminate the contract and protect your deposit. We analyze your specific situation, review your contract terms, and explain your legal options clearly. Our goal is to protect your interests whether that means saving the deal or helping you exit cleanly. Time is usually critical in these situations, so contact us immediately when problems arise.
