Real Estate LawStaten Island Real Estate Closing Attorneys

The real estate attorneys at The Law Offices of Polizzotto & Polizzotto, LLC know the neighborhoods on Staten Island and have the experience to represent your interests when buying and selling real estate, at real estate closings, and in real estate litigation.

For most people, buying or selling a house is one of the largest financial transactions they will make. It only makes sense to have a lawyer guide you every step of the way, from the purchase agreement to the closing. Some of the real estate services we commonly handle include:

  • Drafting and negotiating a purchase agreement
  • Negotiating repairs based on a home inspection
  • Advising buyers on real estate financing
  • Drafting a co-owner agreement for joint purchase or sale
  • Title search opinions
  • 1031 tax-free exchanges
  • Letting clients know what to expect at a real estate closing
  • Representing clients at the closing
  • Refinancing

Unlike most real estate attorneys on Staten Island,  The Law Offices of Polizzotto & Polizzotto, LLC does not own a title insurance company. This means that we do not have a potential conflict of interest when it comes to representing your interests in a title insurance dispute. A dispute could arise if your title insurance company does not conduct a thorough review of the title to uncover issues such as unpaid taxes, liens, judgments, lost heirs, and other issues that can cloud your ownership of the property. While real estate lawyers are required to disclose whether or not they have a financial relationship with a title insurance company, many lawyers fail to do so.
