Why Work with a New York Real Estate Attorney When Buying or Selling a Home in Nassau County, Suffolk County, and New York City, NY?
An experienced New York real estate attorney guides and protects you through the entire real estate transaction, including negotiating the purchase/sale contract, so you obtain favorable terms, e.g., contingency clauses, walk away rights, mortgage provisions, etc. Be mindful that the transaction stems from the contract, so it must be well written, vigorously negotiated, and protect your interests.
New York real estate transactions can move at the speed the buyer or seller is comfortable with. Therefore, “all-cash” transactions (no mortgage required) can be completed in the 30-day range from contract to closing. If the purchaser is obtaining a mortgage, a 60-day range is more realistic.
