Residential Real Estate Attorney in Forest Hills, NY

Residential Real Estate Overview

Home, Condo and Co-op Sale Lawyer in New York City Since 1986

The residential real estate market in the New York City area is unlike any other in the U.S. Co-ops are common and involve unique legal processes and steps. Under New York Securities law, Offering plans (prospectuses) must be distributed to all tenants at the time of conversion and corporations’ finances must be reviewed. Also, sellers and buyers of residential property in New York City most often are represented by legal counsel as well as a realtor.

I am attorney Robert Kaplan of Robert Kaplan, P.C., and I have facilitated the sale & purchase of condominiums, co-ops and 1-3 family homes in the New York City area for 25 years. I am experienced in handling every aspect of the purchase or sale of your home in New York.

For instance, I can work with real estate brokers throughout the transaction and serve as liaison between your agent, your mortgage broker and your lender’s counsel. I can reduce risk and directly communicate with all parties involved in the transaction. I can also review all pertinent documents and provide seasoned advice on the advisability of proceeding with the transaction.

Most often, I work with buyers who have found a property and who need help in the review and negotiation of contracts. In NYC, it’s a necessity to work with a real estate attorney when buying property because the seller will likely have his or her own legal counsel. When you hire my firm, you will receive my legal services, not the services of a paralegal or junior attorney, and I will be involved in every aspect and phase of the transaction from beginning to end.
