Real Estate Closing Process

Here's How We Handle Your Transaction

First, we review your purchase agreement or listing contract to identify potential issues before they become expensive problems. This includes checking terms, contingencies, and deadlines that could affect your closing.

Finally, we handle the closing itself—reviewing all documents, ensuring funds are properly transferred, and making sure you understand exactly what you’re signing. You’ll leave with clear title and confidence that everything was done correctly.

Throughout the process, you’ll know what’s happening next and why it matters to your transaction.

Real estate attorney fees in West Gilgo Beach typically range from $800 to $1,500 for residential transactions, depending on complexity. Commercial deals and properties with title issues may cost more. Most attorneys charge a flat fee for standard closings, which covers contract review, title examination, closing coordination, and document preparation. This investment protects you from costly mistakes that could cost thousands more than legal fees. We provide upfront pricing so you know exactly what to expect before we start working on your transaction.
New York doesn’t legally require an attorney for real estate transactions, but it’s standard practice and highly recommended. Real estate contracts are complex legal documents with significant financial consequences if something goes wrong. An experienced attorney reviews terms, identifies potential problems, handles title issues, and ensures proper closing procedures. Without legal representation, you risk missing contract deadlines, accepting unfavorable terms, or inheriting title problems that could cost thousands to resolve later. Most lenders and real estate professionals expect attorney involvement in New York transactions.
Title problems can include liens, boundary disputes, easement issues, or errors in public records that affect your ownership rights. When we discover title issues during the search process, we work to resolve them before closing. This might involve negotiating lien payoffs, obtaining releases from previous owners, or working with surveyors to clarify boundary disputes. Most title problems can be resolved, but it takes time and legal expertise. If issues can’t be resolved, we’ll advise whether to proceed, renegotiate terms, or walk away from the transaction to protect your interests.
Most residential closings in Suffolk County take 30 to 45 days from contract signing to closing, though cash deals can move faster and complex transactions may take longer. The timeline depends on mortgage approval, title search results, inspection outcomes, and any issues that need resolution. We coordinate with all parties—lenders, real estate agents, title companies, and other attorneys—to keep your closing on schedule. If delays occur, we’ll explain why and what steps we’re taking to get back on track while protecting your interests throughout the process.
Waterfront properties in West Gilgo Beach involve additional legal considerations including flood zone requirements, environmental regulations, and potential restrictions on modifications or rebuilding. You’ll need flood insurance, and lenders have specific requirements for coastal properties. There may be easements, setback requirements, or environmental protections that limit how you can use the property. We review all these factors during contract negotiation and ensure you understand any restrictions before closing. Seasonal market dynamics can also affect timing and valuation, which we factor into our legal strategy for your transaction.
Yes, we handle post-closing issues that may arise after your real estate transaction. This includes problems with deed recording, title insurance claims, boundary disputes with neighbors, or issues with property conditions that weren’t properly disclosed. If you discover liens that should have been cleared at closing or face challenges with property access or use rights, we’ll work to resolve these problems. While title insurance covers many post-closing issues, having legal representation ensures your interests are properly protected and any claims are handled efficiently to minimize disruption to your property ownership.
