Selling Real Estate

When selling real estate in New York, the outcome is always clear: the buyer takes possession of the property and, in return, the seller receives the purchase price to which the parties previously agreed. However, reaching that outcome usually involves a lengthy process including satisfying title searches, producing necessary certificates of occupancy/compliance, paying off existing mortgages and other liens, etc. Like every good service, The Donaldson Law Firm oversees the process of selling real estate in New York so our clients can sleep easier at night knowing they’ve hired experienced professionals.

Leasing Real Estate

Much like selling property, the idea of leasing may seem simple. If you’re a tenant, you want to use specific property for a specific length of time for a specific monthly cost. And if you’re a landlord, you want to allow another person or party to basically borrow space you own although pursuant to specific terms regarding permitted uses of the space, monthly rent, deposit, etc. However, considering landlords and tenants have been leasing commercial and residential space in New York for the past few hundred years, all that history has resulted in lease agreements that can include tens of pages of legal language. Why not hire an attorney who knows the ins-and-outs of all that language to make sure you don’t end up in a situation where the lease doesn’t represent your intentions.
