FAQ:
What is attorney review in New Jersey real estate transactions?
In most New Jersey residential real estate transactions, the contract prepared by a real estate agent is subject to a three-day attorney review period. During attorney review, a real estate attorney reviews the contract of sale, proposes modifications through an attorney review letter, and negotiates any necessary changes to protect the client’s interests.
Either party’s attorney may cancel the contract during the attorney review period. Once attorney review concludes and both sides agree on the terms, the contract becomes binding and the transaction proceeds toward inspection, mortgage approval, and closing.
Do I need a real estate attorney for a residential closing in New Jersey?
While not legally required in every situation, most residential transactions in New Jersey involve attorneys representing both parties. A real estate attorney reviews the contract, identifies potential legal risks, and protects your interests through closing.
What does the $995 flat fee include?
The $995 flat fee covers legal representation for a standard residential closing, including contract review and negotiation, coordination with all parties, and representation through closing. It does not include third-party costs such as title insurance, transfer taxes, or recording fees.
Do you handle condos, co-ops, and single-family homes?
Yes. We handle residential real estate closings for single-family homes, condominiums, and cooperatives.
Do you represent both buyers and sellers?
Yes. We represent both buyers and sellers in residential real estate transactions.
When should I contact a real estate attorney?
Ideally as soon as your offer is accepted or immediately after signing the contract prepared by the real estate agent. In New Jersey, most residential contracts are subject to a three-day attorney review period, during which your attorney can review the contract, propose modifications, or cancel the agreement if necessary. Contacting an attorney promptly ensures your interests are protected during attorney review and throughout the transaction.
