Real Estate Closing Process

Here's Exactly What Happens During Your Transaction

Next comes the due diligence phase—title searches, property surveys, and document review. We handle the coordination with lenders, real estate agents, and other parties so nothing falls through the cracks.

Finally, we manage your closing from start to finish. All documents get prepared, funds are properly transferred, and you walk away with clear title to your property. If issues come up, we resolve them quickly so your deal stays on track.

In New York, you’re not legally required to have an attorney, but it’s one of the smartest investments you can make. Real estate contracts are complex legal documents with serious financial consequences if something goes wrong. An attorney reviews every clause, identifies potential problems, and protects you from costly mistakes that could cost far more than their fee. We also handle title issues, coordinate with lenders, and ensure your closing happens smoothly. Most experienced buyers and sellers wouldn’t consider doing a transaction without legal representation.
Real estate attorney fees typically range from $1,500 to $3,000 for residential transactions, depending on complexity. Commercial deals and unusual situations may cost more. Most attorneys charge a flat fee rather than hourly rates, so you know your costs upfront. This fee covers contract review, title examination, closing preparation, and handling any issues that arise. When you consider that a single contract mistake could cost you thousands, or a missed title issue could derail your entire purchase, the attorney fee is usually a fraction of what you’re protecting yourself against.
Real estate agents help you find properties and negotiate deals, but they can’t provide legal advice or represent you in legal matters. Attorneys review contracts from a legal perspective, identify potential liability issues, and can actually advocate for you if disputes arise. Agents work on commission from the sale, while attorneys work directly for you. You need both—agents for market expertise and transaction facilitation, attorneys for legal protection and document review. Think of your agent as helping you find and negotiate the deal, while your attorney makes sure that deal is legally sound and protects your interests.
Most residential closings take 30-60 days from contract signing to closing day, though this varies based on financing, title issues, and other factors. Commercial transactions often take longer due to additional due diligence requirements. We begin working immediately after contract signing—ordering title searches, reviewing documents, and coordinating with all parties. We’ll keep you updated on progress and handle any delays that arise. Having experienced legal representation actually speeds up the process because we know how to resolve common issues quickly and keep everyone on schedule.
Problems are actually pretty common—title issues, appraisal problems, financing delays, or inspection concerns. Our job is to resolve these issues quickly so your transaction stays on track. We negotiate with the other party’s attorney, work with title companies to clear title defects, and coordinate with lenders to resolve financing issues. If a problem can’t be resolved, we’ll advise you on your legal options, including whether you can terminate the contract and recover your deposit. Having legal representation means you’re not handling these stressful situations alone.
Yes, co-op purchases require additional legal expertise because you’re technically buying shares in a corporation rather than real property. This involves reviewing the co-op’s financial statements, bylaws, and proprietary lease, plus navigating the board approval process. We ensure all required documents are properly prepared and submitted, review the co-op’s financial health, and identify any restrictions that might affect your use of the apartment. We also coordinate with the managing agent and board to keep your application moving through the approval process efficiently.
