Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an attorney to buy or sell property in New York?

Yes. In New York, attorneys play a required role in drafting, reviewing, and finalizing real estate contracts. Legal representation ensures that your rights are protected and the transaction complies with all state and local laws.

What is the difference between a co-op and a condo?

In a condo, you own your individual unit outright plus a share of common areas. In a co-op, you own shares in the cooperative corporation and receive a proprietary lease. Co-op purchases involve board approval, financial review, and specific resale rules that differ from standard real estate.

Can you help with zoning or permit issues?

Absolutely. Our team assists with zoning applications, variances, land use hearings, and environmental compliance matters. We work directly with municipal agencies to move your project forward.

What happens at closing?

At closing, all documents are signed, funds are transferred, and ownership officially changes hands. Your attorney ensures every legal and financial condition has been met before you sign—so you can proceed with full confidence.

Do you handle real estate disputes?

Yes. We represent clients in disputes over contracts, boundaries, construction issues, and landlord-tenant conflicts, working to resolve matters efficiently through negotiation, mediation, or, when necessary, litigation.
