Our closing department manages the mechanics of a real estate closing so the transaction moves on schedule and nothing falls through. We close co-op, condominium, and residential transactions throughout New York City and the surrounding counties, for buyers, sellers, and lenders. A closing pulls in many parties and firm deadlines; our job is to keep all of them on track and tell you plainly what comes next.
How a Closing Works
-
Contract
We review or prepare the contract of sale, order the lien search, and — for co-ops and condos — request the offering plan and building financials.
-
Due diligence and board package
We review the building's financials and minutes, and where the building requires it, we assemble and submit the board application.
-
Loan commitment
We coordinate with your lender and read the commitment letter and loan terms with you before anything is signed.
-
Clearing to close
We resolve title and lien issues, confirm payoff figures, and circulate a closing statement so everyone sees the numbers ahead of time.
-
Closing day
We attend the closing, review every document before you sign, and confirm that funds and keys change hands correctly.
-
After closing
We handle recording, transfer-tax filings, and delivery of your final documents for your records.
