Representing Your Interests When Buying and Selling Real Estate
Buying or selling a home, apartment or commercial property is one of the largest transactions you are likely to make in your lifetime. Without legal advice, it can also be one of the riskiest. An experienced real estate attorney can guide you through the process and protect your financial interests at every stage of the transaction.
At the law firm of Shaked & Posner, we represent buyers and sellers of homes, condos (condominiums) and cooperatives (coops) in the New York City area. We offer a free initial consultation to answer your questions.
Guiding You Through Each Stage of a Real Estate Transaction
Our lawyers will guide you through each step of the real estate transaction, including:
- The purchase contract. Our lawyers will draft or review the contract and ensure that your interests are protected.
- The inspection. Our lawyers will guide you through the home inspection process for residential properties and the due diligence process for commercial properties to ensure that you get what you are paying for.
- The mortgage. The lending process can be overwhelming even during good economic times. Our lawyers will make the process easier. In addition to representing borrowers, our attorneys also represent lenders in mortgage loan transactions.
- Title insurance. There are possible defects in title, including forged signatures in the transfer of title, unpaid real estate taxes or liens, and title insurance protects the buyer against legal challenges to title. Our lawyers can answer any questions you have about title insurance.
- The closing. Our lawyers will take the time to explain all the documents you are required to sign.
- Real estate litigation. Our lawyers will represent you in litigation over issues such as breach of contract, cooperative and condominium association disputes, quiet title disputes and boundary disputes.
