Real Estate Closing Process

How We Handle Your Transaction

First, we review your contract and identify any issues that need attention. We explain what everything means in plain language, not legal jargon.

Next, we coordinate with all parties – lenders, real estate agents, title companies – to keep your transaction moving forward. We handle the paperwork, schedule inspections, and resolve any title issues that come up.

At closing, we’re there to make sure everything is correct before you sign. We review all documents, verify the numbers, and ensure you understand what you’re agreeing to. After closing, we follow up to make sure any remaining items are completed properly.

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

In New York, you’re not legally required to have an attorney, but it’s one of the smartest investments you’ll make. Real estate contracts are complex, and a small oversight can cost you thousands. We review contracts before you sign, identify potential problems, and negotiate terms that protect your interests. Most importantly, we’re there at closing to make sure everything is correct before you hand over your down payment. The cost of an attorney is minimal compared to the financial protection you get.

What happens if there are problems with the title?

Title issues are more common than most people realize, but they’re usually fixable with the right approach. We review the title search results and identify any liens, easements, or other encumbrances that could affect your ownership. If there are problems, we work with the title company and other parties to resolve them before closing. This might involve paying off old liens, getting releases from previous owners, or negotiating with utility companies. The key is catching these issues early so they don’t delay your closing.

How long does a typical real estate closing take?

Most residential closings in Suffolk County take 30-45 days from contract signing to closing, but the timeline depends on several factors. Cash purchases move faster than financed deals. Properties with title issues or inspection problems take longer to resolve. We keep your transaction on track by staying in regular contact with all parties and addressing issues as soon as they arise. If delays do occur, we make sure you understand why and what’s being done to resolve them.

What should I expect to pay for real estate attorney fees?

Real estate attorney fees in Suffolk County typically range from $800 to $1,500 for residential transactions, depending on the complexity of the deal. Commercial transactions vary more widely based on the property type and deal structure. We provide clear fee estimates upfront so there are no surprises. This fee covers contract review, title examination, closing preparation, and representation at the closing table. When you consider that we’re protecting what’s likely your largest financial investment, the attorney fee is a small price to pay for professional legal protection.

Can you help if my real estate deal is already having problems?

Absolutely. We regularly help clients whose transactions have hit roadblocks. Whether it’s contract disputes, title problems, financing issues, or inspection concerns, we step in to get deals back on track. The sooner you involve us, the more options we have to resolve the problems. We’ve seen most issues before and know how to navigate them efficiently. Sometimes this means renegotiating contract terms, sometimes it means finding creative solutions to title problems, and sometimes it means knowing when to walk away from a bad deal.

Do you handle commercial real estate transactions too?

Yes, we handle both residential and commercial real estate transactions throughout Suffolk County. Commercial deals involve additional complexities like zoning compliance, environmental issues, lease reviews, and more sophisticated financing structures. We work with business owners, investors, and developers on purchases, sales, leases, and refinancing. Our experience with local zoning boards and municipal regulations helps navigate the approval processes that commercial properties often require. Whether you’re buying your first investment property or expanding your business, we provide the legal guidance you need.
