Residential Real Property Law Practice

Residential Real Estate-

We see the residential real estate market from both sides of the transaction, since we represent both sellers and purchasers of houses, cooperative apartments, and condominium homes.  Frequently, we represent the same client in both the sale of his or her current residence and the purchase of the new home.  

Here are some observations to keep in mind, if you are involved in a residential real estate transaction:

From the Viewpoint of the Buyer:  (click here)

From the Viewpoint of the Seller:

Coming to terms on the price of your home is only the first step is the completion of the transaction.  The selection of the right lawyer will help significantly in bringing the sale to a successful conclusion.

In this active market, many buyers are viewing multiple properties and are making offers for more than one property at a time.  Therefore, once you receive an acceptable offer, time is critical.  It is clearly in your interest to get the contract signed before you lose the potential buyer.  The law firm you select should be able quickly to get the contract to the buyer and then rapidly conclude negotiations.

One more point:  If the contract is not carefully drafted, even minor problems could jeopardize the successful conclusion of the sale  A well-drawn contract will anticipate most problems, spell out their consequences and usually prevent them from spiraling out of control. An experienced attorney can help overcome the rarer surprise and prevent it from derailing the sale.

Our firm's mission is to provide our clients with competent representation and personal service.  If you are selling your home, we invite you to call us for an appointment to discuss the possibility of retaining our services.
