FAQs
Frequently asked questions
When should I involve a lawyer in a purchase?
Before you sign a contract. Terms in the contract are hard to change once it is signed.
What does a closing involve?
Signing the final documents, paying the balance and transferring title. We review the figures and documents with you beforehand.
Can I buy property in New York if I live abroad?
Generally yes. Financing, tax and signing logistics differ, and we help with them.
