Legal Help for Home Buyers & Sellers

Buying or selling a home in New York isn’t simple—but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. We guide buyers and sellers across New York City and the Greater Hudson Valley through residential real estate closings with clarity, efficiency, and attention to every detail. Whether it’s a single-family home in Scarsdale, a condo in Manhattan, or a co-op in the Bronx, we handle the legal side so you can focus on the move.

Buyers – Protect Your Investment

If you’re purchasing a home, condo, or co-op, we’ll review your contract, coordinate with your lender, check for title issues, and explain everything you’re signing at closing. We make sure you know what you’re buying, what it will cost, and what to expect at each step—especially important if this is your first time.



We’ve helped homebuyers across White Plains, Yonkers, New Rochelle, and into the city, including Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Sellers – Close Without Surprises

If you’re selling, we’ll review your contract of sale, prepare the required documents, resolve any last-minute title or payoff issues, and represent you at closing. Our goal is to make your side of the deal as smooth and delay-free as possible.

Co-ops, Condos & Townhomes

We regularly handle closings involving co-op apartments, condos, and townhomes, especially in areas like Riverdale, Park Slope, and throughout the Upper West Side. Co-op deals require board packages, approval timelines, and extra documentation—we’ll walk you through what to expect and help you meet every deadline.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need a lawyer to buy or sell a home in New York?

    Yes. New York requires attorney involvement in residential real estate closings. We handle the legal side of your transaction, including reviewing and explaining the contract, title work, and closing documents.

  • How much are typical closing costs in Westchester?

    Buyers often pay 2–5% of the purchase price; sellers have different costs, like transfer taxes and attorney fees. We provide clear estimates and explain every line item.

  • What’s the difference between a condo and a co-op?

    Condos are real property; you own the unit. Co-ops involve shares in a corporation and require board approval. We’ve worked with both and can guide you through their differences.

  • Can you help if I’m buying in NYC but live out of state?

    Yes. We regularly help out-of-state buyers navigate NYC closings, including remote signing and coordination with local brokers and lenders.
