Real Estate Closing Process

Here's How We Handle It

First, we review your contract before you sign anything. This catches problematic clauses, unrealistic timelines, or terms that aren’t in your favor. Most issues are easier to fix before signatures than after.

Next, we handle all the due diligence – title searches, survey reviews, lien checks, and coordination with lenders, brokers, and the other side’s attorney. You get regular updates on progress and any issues that need your attention.

At closing, we review all final documents, ensure numbers match what you expected, and walk you through each signature. No rushing through paperwork or signing documents you don’t understand.

After closing, you get copies of everything and guidance on next steps like recording deeds or handling any post-closing requirements.

Real estate attorney fees in Queens typically range from $1,500 to $3,000 for residential transactions, depending on complexity. Commercial deals and litigation cases are usually billed hourly. We provide upfront fee estimates so you know what to expect. Many clients find that good legal representation actually saves money by catching problems early, negotiating better terms, and preventing costly mistakes that could surface after closing.
New York State requires attorney involvement in real estate transactions, and for good reason. Real estate contracts are complex legal documents with significant financial consequences. A qualified real estate attorney reviews contracts, handles title searches, coordinates with lenders, and ensures all legal requirements are met. Without proper legal representation, you risk signing unfavorable terms, missing important deadlines, or overlooking issues that could cost thousands later.
Common issues include title problems, survey discrepancies, financing delays, or inspection concerns. We handle these by working directly with all parties to find solutions quickly. For example, if a title search reveals an old lien, we contact the lienholder to get proper releases. If a survey shows boundary issues, we negotiate with the seller for resolution or price adjustments. Our goal is keeping your closing on track while protecting your interests.
Most residential closings in Queens take 45-60 days from contract signing to closing day. Commercial transactions often take longer due to additional due diligence requirements. The timeline depends on factors like financing approval, inspection results, title issues, and cooperation from all parties. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated on progress. Having experienced legal representation helps prevent delays by addressing potential problems early in the process.
Yes, we handle post-closing disputes including undisclosed property defects, boundary disagreements, title issues, and contract breaches. Common cases involve sellers who failed to disclose known problems, contractors who didn’t complete agreed-upon work, or neighbors disputing property lines. We evaluate your situation, explain your legal options, and pursue resolution through negotiation or litigation when necessary. Quick action is often important in these cases to protect your rights.
Bring your purchase contract or any documents you’ve already signed, property listing information, inspection reports, and correspondence with brokers or lenders. If you’re selling, include your deed, recent tax bills, and any contractor receipts for recent work. For commercial properties, bring lease agreements, financial statements, and zoning information. Don’t worry if you don’t have everything – we can help you gather missing documents and explain what’s needed for your specific situation.
