Our Representation of NYC Condo Buyers and Sellers is Based on a Flat-Fee Schedule and Includes the Following Closing Services:

Closing Services for NYC Condo Buyers

1. Initial Stage

Discussing with the buyer all stages of a successful condo purchase, advising the buyer on the optimal ownership structure based on the family and residency status, and long-term financial objectives; going over the deal-sheet terms with the buyer before proceeding to contract negotiation and execution stage.  We strongly advise purchasers of New York real estate to explore asset protection services as part of their investment strategy.

2. Contract of Sale

Negotiating a contract of sale with the seller’s attorney to protect the buyer’s financial interests and to shield the buyer from unnecessary liability. Before executing the contract and making a deposit, going over the contract terms with the buyer to make sure that he/she understands the contractual rights and obligations.

3. Title Search

Ordering and reviewing a title report for the condo unit to ensure that the unit’s title is clean and unencumbered. If the report reveals any irregularities in the chain of title, resolving title clouds with the seller and title insurance company before closing.

4. Due Diligence

Performing a detailed property due diligence that includes the following stages:

  • Reviewing the condo’s offering plan and amendments, bylaws, minutes from the board meetings, financials, alteration agreements, building’s rules and regulations.
  • Researching and reviewing public records to ensure that there are no outstanding violations, liens and judgments against the building and the condo unit.
  • Submitting a detailed written questionnaire to the management company to make sure that the building does not have:
    – special assessments in effect;
    – planned common charges increases/special assessments;
    – pending, anticipated or threatened lawsuits against the building;
    – sublet restrictions;
    – hidden transfer costs; or
    – anticipated capital improvements.
  • Preparing a detailed due diligence report for the buyer summarizing key findings based on the review and research of the condo’s documents, public records and information gathered from the management company.
