Real Estate Closing Process

Here's How We Handle Your Transaction

First, we review your contract before you sign it. We catch problems early when they’re still fixable, not at closing when they become expensive emergencies. We explain what each clause means in plain English.

Next, we handle all the due diligence—title searches, lien checks, property records review. We coordinate with banks, brokers, and the other side’s attorney to keep everything moving. You get regular updates, not radio silence.

At closing, we’re there to review every document and make sure the numbers match what you agreed to. We handle the wire transfers, deed recording, and all the legal details. You walk away with clean title and keys to your property.

Real estate attorney fees in Little Neck typically range from $1,500 to $3,000 for residential transactions, depending on complexity. This covers contract review, title work, closing preparation, and representation at closing. Commercial transactions cost more due to their complexity. We provide upfront fee estimates so you know what to expect. Most clients find that good legal representation saves them far more than it costs by catching problems early and ensuring smooth closings. We’d rather discuss fees upfront than surprise you with bills later.
Choose an attorney who specializes in real estate law and knows your local market. General practice lawyers often miss real estate-specific issues that can cost you money. Look for someone who responds to calls and emails promptly—real estate transactions move fast and delays cost money. Ask about their experience with your type of property. Co-op transactions are different from house purchases, and commercial deals have their own requirements. Finally, make sure they explain things clearly. If your attorney can’t explain contract terms in plain English, find someone who can.
Hire your real estate attorney before you sign the purchase contract, not after. We can review the contract terms and negotiate changes while you still have leverage. Once you’ve signed, your options become limited and expensive. In New York, you typically have a few days after signing to have an attorney review the contract, but it’s better to have legal representation from the start. For sellers, hire an attorney when you’re ready to list your property so we can prepare necessary documents and review offers as they come in.
Problems at closing are common in New York real estate, but they’re manageable with experienced legal representation. Title issues, survey problems, and last-minute contract disputes can usually be resolved quickly when your attorney knows what to do. We handle negotiations with the other side, coordinate with title companies to clear liens, and work with banks to resolve financing issues. Most closing problems can be fixed same-day or within a few days. Having an attorney who’s seen these issues before means faster solutions and less stress for you.
Yes, you still need a real estate attorney for cash purchases. Paying cash eliminates bank requirements and speeds up closing, but it doesn’t eliminate legal risks. You still need title searches, contract review, and closing representation. Cash buyers actually face higher risks because they don’t have a bank’s underwriters double-checking everything. We’ve seen cash buyers lose money on title problems, survey issues, and contract terms they didn’t understand. The legal work costs the same whether you pay cash or get a mortgage, but the protection is just as important.
Most residential closings in New York take 45-60 days from contract signing to closing day. Co-op purchases often take longer due to board approval processes. Commercial transactions typically take 60-90 days depending on complexity. Cash purchases can close in 2-3 weeks if all parties are ready. The timeline depends on mortgage approval, title work, inspections, and document preparation. We track all deadlines and coordinate with everyone involved to prevent delays. When problems arise, experienced legal representation can often get things back on track quickly rather than starting over.
