When it comes to purchasing or selling properties in New York State, having a real estate attorney represent you is not mandatory, but it is strongly advised. The process of negotiating and understanding the nuances of a real estate Contract of Sale is complex.
People who sell real estate in New York need a license. This license is from the New York State Department of State (NYSDOS). Licensed salespeople must work under the supervision of a licensed real estate broker. They cannot work independently.
Closing agents, who aid in the selling of a property to a buyer, prepare closing statements. Real estate attorneys, title firms, and escrow officers often act as closing agents.
Unlike many states, New York requires sellers to involve a lawyer in the house-selling transaction. (N.Y. Jud. Law § 484), fulfilling the tasks described above.
Generally, closing takes place between 60 to 90 days after a contract of sale has been signed. It includes many steps that take place at several locations and will include all the parties involved in the sale – buyers, sellers, lenders, attorneys and possibly, even real estate agents.
