Finalizing Sales Contracts
One common type of transaction that we can help you with is finalizing sales contracts. We represent both buyers and sellers, so we can provide the advantage of knowing how both sides think and work. If you are a buyer, for instance, you must work with an attorney to quickly finalize and sign a contract of sale. This contract should lay out all the terms of the deal, including the price, contingencies, and closing date. It is also imperative that you have an inspection of the property conducted, and, if the property is a co-op or condo, you should have your attorney review the building’s records and financial statements.
Both buyer and seller should have their attorneys prepare and negotiate the contract of sale addressing the above concerns. Once all the provisions have been listed and covered, the contract will be ready to sign, and you will have a final contract of sale.

Real Estate Closings
Our firm also handles real estate closings, which is the final step in a real estate transaction. Property in New York is some of the most expensive in the country, so closing costs in the state are among the highest. Closing costs may include lender fees, attorney fees, title search, and insurance fees. Note that the contract of sale will determine who pays these costs.
During a real estate closing, the buyer must typically be present and sign all the necessary loan documents; the seller, however, may have their attorney represent them at the closing and sign all the paperwork ahead of time.
Paperwork required for closings may include:
- HUD statement: Department of Housing and Urban Development form for conventional mortgages
- Truth in lending statement: Federal form that describes the true cost of financing the home
- Closing statement: Explains how the money is handled at the closing
- Mortgage note: Signed by the buyer agreeing to repay a loan if they are financing the home
Our Manhattan real estate attorney can help you prepare the appropriate paperwork and documents, whether you are the buyer or the seller. We will also review these forms with you prior to the closing date. Depending on your situation, you may also need to bring certified or cashier checks for your share of the closing costs agreed upon in the contract.
Buying or selling property has many legal implications and responsibilities. We can help you take care of all your real estate transactions beyond those mentioned above. To ensure that your property interests are protected and your duties are fulfilled appropriately, it is wise to hire a focused and accomplished law firm.
