Real Estate Closing Process

Your Transaction Step by Step

Your real estate transaction starts with a thorough contract review. Every term gets examined to ensure it protects your interests and reflects what you actually agreed to. Any issues get addressed before you sign, not after problems arise.

Once the contract is solid, the due diligence phase begins. This includes title searches, survey reviews, and examining any liens or encumbrances on the property. You’ll know exactly what you’re buying and if there are any issues that need resolution.

The closing preparation involves coordinating with all parties, reviewing final documents, and ensuring everything is ready for a smooth transfer. On closing day, every document gets explained clearly so you understand what you’re signing and why it matters for your ownership.

While New York doesn’t require an attorney for real estate transactions, having one protects your investment in ways that other professionals can’t. Real estate agents represent the sale, and lenders focus on their loan security, but your attorney represents only your interests. We review contracts for terms that could cost you money, examine titles for ownership issues, and ensure closing documents are correct. For most people, their home is their largest investment – having legal protection for that investment makes financial sense.
Title issues are more common than most buyers realize, but they’re usually resolvable with proper legal guidance. Common problems include unpaid liens, boundary disputes, or errors in previous deeds. We will identify these issues during the title examination and work to resolve them before closing. This might involve negotiating with the seller to clear liens, obtaining corrective documents, or in some cases, advising you whether to proceed with the purchase. The key is finding and addressing these issues before you own the property, not after.
Most residential real estate transactions take 30-45 days from contract signing to closing, though this can vary based on financing, inspections, and any issues discovered during due diligence. Commercial transactions often take longer due to additional complexity. We will provide a realistic timeline based on your specific situation and keep you updated if delays arise. Having experienced legal representation actually helps speed the process by identifying and addressing potential problems early, rather than discovering them at the last minute.
Commercial real estate transactions involve additional layers of complexity including zoning compliance, environmental assessments, lease reviews, and more sophisticated financing structures. The due diligence process is more extensive, and contracts typically include more negotiated terms. Residential transactions, while still requiring careful attention, generally follow more standardized processes. However, both types of transactions require thorough contract review, title examination, and proper closing procedures. The key is working with an attorney who understands the specific requirements and potential issues for your type of property.
Real estate attorney fees typically range from $800 to $2,000 for residential transactions, depending on complexity and local market rates. Commercial transactions generally cost more due to additional time and expertise required. Most attorneys charge a flat fee for standard transactions, which covers contract review, title examination, closing preparation, and representation at closing. This fee is usually a small percentage of your property’s value but provides significant protection for your investment. It’s worth discussing fees upfront so you understand exactly what’s included in your legal representation.
Yes, real estate transactions can be saved even when problems arise, though early intervention usually provides more options. Common issues include financing delays, inspection problems, title defects, or contract disputes. We can negotiate solutions, restructure terms, or advise you on your legal options. Sometimes the best advice is to walk away from a problematic transaction, and we can help you understand how to do that while protecting your interests. The key is getting legal guidance as soon as problems surface, not waiting until they become crises.
