Your Questions, Answered

Real Estate Law in NY

Here’s what many clients ask us before signing on the dotted line.

  • Do I need a real estate attorney to buy property in NYC?

    Yes. In New York, it’s standard—and often required—for buyers and sellers to work with attorneys. Your lawyer handles contract review, title clearance, and closing documentation to protect your interests throughout the transaction. Without a legal advocate, you could miss important contingencies or face delays that impact your deal. At Calvo Law Group, we ensure your closing stays on track and your rights are fully protected.

  • How long does a real estate closing take in NYC?

    Most residential closings in NYC take 60 to 90 days, though that timeline can vary based on deal complexity and property type. Co-op purchases, for example, may require board approval, which adds time. We work proactively with all parties—brokers, lenders, title companies—to keep things moving efficiently. Our role is to remove obstacles before they slow you down.

  • What’s the difference between a real estate broker and a real estate lawyer?

    A broker helps you find or sell the property and negotiate the purchase price. A lawyer handles the legal details—reviewing contracts, identifying risks, coordinating closing, and ensuring that all documents are in proper form. In New York City, both professionals are essential to a smooth deal. At Calvo Law Group, we often partner directly with brokers to deliver a seamless client experience.

  • What makes your firm different from larger real estate law practices?

    Unlike high-volume firms, we offer hands-on attention and a consistent point of contact—so you always know who’s working your file. We keep communication clear and direct, with real timelines and real results. Our size allows us to move faster, respond quicker, and adapt to your needs without delay. And with Sammy Calvo personally overseeing each case, you get the experience of a large firm with the commitment of a trusted advisor.
