Real estate transactions in New York involve a huge amount of paperwork, strict deadlines, and contracts full of legal jargon. One overlooked clause can cost you thousands of dollars or the loss of your dream home. The Law Office of Beata Gadek, PLLC provides professional legal representation for buyers and sellers at every stage of the process.

Our role in your transaction:

We handle the legal side of residential transactions from the moment the draft agreement is prepared until the final handover of keys (closing). Our support includes:

  • Preparation and detailed analysis of the Contract of Sale.
  • Conducting a Title Search to verify debts and liens on the property.
  • Negotiating terms with the other party to the transaction.
  • Coordinating actions with banks, brokers, and insurance companies.
  • Representation during the final meeting and signing of documents (Closing).

We also handle refinancing transactions – if you are restructuring your mortgage, we will ensure that the new terms fully protect your interests. For our Polish-speaking clients, we conduct the entire process bilingually, because fully understanding what you are signing is crucial for your security.

Frequently asked questions

  • Why do I need a lawyer to buy a home in New York?

    In New York State, the presence of a lawyer in real estate transactions is standard and often a requirement. The law here is specific, and contracts are very extensive – a lawyer protects your deposit and legal interests.

  • What is a "Title Search" and why is it important?

    It is an examination of the property’s history that shows whether the seller has the full right to sell and whether the house is burdened by unpaid taxes, court judgments, or other debts of previous owners.

  • How long does the process from signing the contract to closing take?

    Usually, this process takes from 45 to 60 days, but it depends on many factors, including the speed of mortgage processing by the bank and the results of the title search.

  • Do you also help with selling property?

    Yes, we also represent sellers. We prepare the contract, help resolve any legal issues before the sale, and ensure a smooth settlement of the transaction.
