Avoid Costly Mistakes with the Help of a Closing Lawyer
Getting the sale done quickly is nice, but moving too quickly provides the opportunity for errors or other problems to be missed or overlooked. Having an impartial team member in the form of a closing attorney can help keep things in check, and they will insist on having the time to review the various documents for the sale. And it seems like every year there are different rules or regulations that must be met by the buyer or seller (or both) of a property.
It is important to understand the differences between a residential property transaction and a commercial property transaction. While much will be the same, there can be significant differences in the process and regulations for each. It is important not to assume that you understand what will happen just because you are used to one type of property sale or purchase.
It All Culminates at Closing
They are referred to as closing attorneys because most of their work culminates at the closing, when the buyer and seller sign the paperwork, exchange the money, and generally make the transfer of the property from one person to another. This seems like it should be straight forward, but often other entities are involved, such as the buyer’s lender, the seller’s lender, and a few others. All of these moving parts are coordinated by the real estate closing attorney, and they generally make the process look easy.
No matter if you are paying cash for a property in Long Island, Flushing, Queens, Nassau County, Garden City, Lynnbrook, NY, and the surrounding areas or you are borrowing money to finance the purchase, it is a smart move to have a real estate closing attorney on your team. The Law Offices of Aaron I. Katsman, P.C. have several closing attorneys that will be able to help facilitate your property transfer and keep the paperwork straight, plus deal with any surprises.
