Frequently Asked Questions—Residential Real Estate
Do I really need a real estate attorney when buying or selling a home in New York?
Yes. In New York State, an attorney is not just recommended—it's typically required. An experienced real estate lawyer ensures that your rights are protected, your contract is fair, and your closing process goes smoothly.
What does a residential real estate attorney actually do during a home purchase?
We handle contract review and negotiation, coordinate with the title company and lender, ensure legal compliance, resolve title issues, and represent you at the closing. Our goal is to make the process stress-free and legally sound from start to finish.
What’s the difference between a title company and a real estate attorney?
A title company provides insurance and handles escrow, but it doesn’t offer legal advice. As your attorney, we protect your interests by reviewing documents, spotting red flags, resolving legal issues, and making sure your transaction complies with New York law.
Can you help with For Sale By Owner (FSBO) transactions?
Absolutely. FSBO deals often lack the structure of agent-led transactions, so having a knowledgeable attorney is even more important. We draft and review contracts, handle disclosures, and walk both parties through the closing process.
What happens if issues come up before closing?
We’re here to handle them. Whether it’s a title problem, a financing delay, or a contract dispute, we act quickly to resolve the issue and protect your interests. We’ll keep you informed and involved every step of the way.
What is title insurance, and why do I need it?
Title insurance protects you against claims or defects related to your property’s ownership history, like unpaid liens or clerical errors. It’s a one-time purchase made during closing, and we help you secure the right policy.
Do you offer legal support after closing?
Yes! If questions or disputes arise after the transaction is complete—such as property line concerns or post-closing documents—we’re still here to help.
