Engaging the services of an experienced attorney is crucial for ensuring your interests are protected and your transactions are conducted smoothly. However, simply selecting an attorney with legal expertise may not be sufficient. In the cutthroat NYC real estate market, understanding the competitive landscape is essential for an attorney to provide effective legal representation.
Home Search, Submitting Offer and Signing Contract
Your agent will be your guide, expertly assisting you in the process of narrowing down the various options. Finding the ideal apartment to suit your needs may take several months because it takes time to learn the differences between co-ops, condos, and new developments and houses, along with their respective pros and cons. It’s a significant financial decision, so it’s understandable that it takes this long to make an informed choice. Co-ops represent a significant portion, comprising 75% of the NYC apartments.
Once you find a dream home and decide to make an offer, your agent will guide you in crafting an offer that aligns with the market’s current conditions. Upon offer acceptance, a “deal sheet” will be sent to all attorneys, providing a roadmap for the contract negotiation process. Next, your attorney will facilitate a meticulous due diligence process to verify the building’s financial health. You will then place a deposit, typically 10% of the purchase price, in an attorney-managed escrow account until closing. Your attorney will prioritize the review process to ensure you can sign the contract promptly.

What Our Clients Say
Our team at One Eleazar is proud to help buyers and sellers move forward with confidence through trusted guidance, clear communication, and dedicated support throughout their real estate journey.
Sunny is a gem of a person and the BEST real estate agent. Sunny helped me purchase my first home and was so kind, knowledgeable, and reassuring through the process. I felt well taken care of and knew that my interests were well represented throughout my purchase. I also appreciate her responsiveness. Sunny was always only a text or email away. I was never lost or confused about where we were in the process as she always communicated regularly and made herself available from open houses to quick questions that came to mind. I would highly recommend Sunny’s services – she’s calm in the storm of NYC real estate which is a necessity!
Adaeze Udoji
The home-buying process can be stressful. We had actually parted ways with another realtor who did not fit our needs before we found Lucy. In purchasing our first home, Lucy not only made it less stressful for us but was so transparent in each stage of finding our perfect house. Not once did we feel like Lucy was trying to push us too fast or sell us something that wasn’t right. It truly felt like Lucy was a part of our team, making sure we were on board for each part of the decision-making process and ultimately finding the house that was perfect for us! I couldn’t imagine this process without her and will be recommending her to everyone in our community.
In the often bewildering NYC real estate market, you can count your blessings if you’re lucky enough to have Sunny guiding you through the sales process, as either a buyer or seller. Sunny is the best, there’s no other way to put it. My husband and I were living in NJ and looking to purchase an apartment in Brooklyn, and luckily chanced upon Sunny at an open house. From our initial bid on an apartment to closing, she was diligent, reliable and always responsive, offering recommendations where needed, clearly informing us and guiding us through every step of the purchase process. Given the well-documented stresses of purchasing in NYC, we both still can’t quite believe how painless Sunny made the process. She is the best type of broker, a resource and an ally, and we would recommend her to anyone.
Tamara Torres
Sunny is precise, patient, compassionate, kind and hardworking. The homebuying process can be very stressful, but Sunny remained a steady force that kept us anchored throughout all the ups and downs. She is very knowledgeable in what she does and advocates for her clients. She arranged and accompanied us to all our viewings, helped us ask all the necessary questions, and did her research on the properties we liked after. I’m thankful for Sunny’s dedication to her clients and I’m so thankful to be one of them.
