Expanding in Astoria?

Your Trusted Real Estate Partner


It's essential to have a real estate attorney for property purchases, whether land, homes, or commercial structures. An attorney should inspect the sales contract and manage the court closing. While some buyers and sellers may wish to avoid hiring one, many states, including New York, mandate that licensed attorneys handle land sales to comply with legal requirements. Leasing agreements, particularly in high-rent areas, should also be reviewed by a legal professional. Real estate lawyers, like those at SL Law Group, are often needed throughout any real estate transaction.
