West Gilgo Beach Property Attorney

Close Without the Stress and Surprises

Your biggest investment deserves more than a quick review and crossed fingers. When you work with an experienced real estate lawyer, you get contracts that actually protect you, title searches that catch problems early, and someone who speaks up when terms don’t make sense.

You sleep better knowing someone checked every detail before you signed. No last-minute surprises at closing. No discovering easement issues after you’ve moved in. No wondering if that commercial lease clause will come back to bite you later.

The difference is having someone in your corner who’s seen what goes wrong and knows how to prevent it. Your transaction moves forward smoothly because potential problems get handled before they become real problems.

Real Estate Transaction Process

Here's How We Handle Your Transaction

First, we review your contract before you sign anything. This isn’t a rubber stamp – we actually read every clause and flag anything that could cause problems later. If terms need adjustment, we negotiate on your behalf.

Next comes due diligence. We coordinate title searches, survey reviews, and any necessary inspections. When issues surface, we work directly with other parties to resolve them quickly. You stay informed throughout, but we handle the back-and-forth.

At closing, we’re there to review all final documents and make sure everything matches what you agreed to. No surprises, no pressure to sign something that doesn’t look right. We don’t consider the job done until you’re completely satisfied with the outcome.

Even “simple” transactions can have complex legal implications. A real estate attorney reviews contracts for unfavorable terms, ensures proper title transfer, and identifies potential issues before they become expensive problems. In New York, having legal representation is especially important because real estate law is complex and mistakes can be costly. We’ve seen buyers lose thousands because they didn’t understand contract terms or missed title defects that should have been caught early. The attorney fee is small compared to the protection you receive.
Real estate agents help you find and negotiate properties, but they cannot provide legal advice or represent your legal interests. A real estate attorney reviews contracts from a legal perspective, ensures proper documentation, handles title issues, and can represent you if disputes arise. While agents focus on completing the sale, attorneys focus on protecting your legal and financial interests throughout the transaction. Both serve important but different roles in your real estate transaction.
Real estate attorney fees typically range from $800 to $2,500 depending on the transaction complexity. Simple residential purchases are on the lower end, while commercial deals or complicated transactions cost more. Most attorneys charge a flat fee for standard transactions, so you know the cost upfront. This fee covers contract review, title examination, closing attendance, and handling typical issues that arise. Considering that real estate transactions often involve hundreds of thousands of dollars, attorney fees represent a small percentage of your investment while providing significant protection.
Title issues are more common than most people realize, but they’re usually resolvable with proper legal guidance. Common problems include unpaid liens, boundary disputes, easement issues, or errors in public records. When we discover title defects, we work with the title company, other attorneys, and relevant parties to clear the issues before closing. Some problems require negotiating with sellers for resolution or price adjustments. In rare cases where issues can’t be resolved satisfactorily, we’ll advise you on your options, including whether to proceed or withdraw from the transaction.
Yes, we handle real estate litigation and contract disputes. When deals fall apart due to breach of contract, financing issues, or discovered defects, we protect your interests and help recover damages when appropriate. This might involve negotiating settlements, pursuing or defending breach of contract claims, or handling disputes over deposits and earnest money. We also assist with post-closing issues like undisclosed defects, boundary disputes, or problems with deed transfers. Having an attorney who understands both transactional and litigation aspects of real estate law provides comprehensive protection.
Most residential transactions close within 30-60 days from contract signing, while commercial deals often take 60-90 days due to additional due diligence requirements. The timeline depends on factors like financing approval, inspection results, title issues, and how quickly all parties respond to requests. Having an experienced attorney actually speeds up the process because we identify and address potential problems early, coordinate with all parties efficiently, and ensure proper documentation is prepared correctly the first time. We keep you informed of progress and any delays, so you always know where things stand.
