Residential & Commercial
We assist clients with various mortgage banking related transactions for both residential and commercial properties in New York and Connecticut.
Whether you are a mortgage lender or broker, a real estate sales professional or an individual looking for attorney representation in a real estate transaction, we handle your transaction in a timely and professional manner, and understand the needs of all parties involved.
Close with Confidence
To prepare for a smooth closing we strive to submit a settlement statement to you for review prior to closing. We extend every effort to communicate with all necessary parties to solve potential problems before closing, and it is our goal to be prepared and ready when you arrive at the closing. We will also work with you to set a closing time and location that fits everyone’s schedule.
The closing can take place in our comfortable, well-appointed office that is conveniently located just off 287 in in White Plains, NY or we will travel to another location. We have ample parking just steps from our front door. Closings in our offices will be conducted in a relaxed atmosphere where the documents will be patiently reviewed. We conduct the transaction with the understanding that a closing is not an everyday event to most sellers, purchasers and borrowers so we attempt to answer each question in plain, straightforward terms.
