Real Estate Transactions

Legal representation for residential and commercial purchases, sales, and leasing in New York City and surrounding areas.

Real estate transactions involve substantial commitments, detailed documentation, and deadlines that can affect a client’s ability to move forward. Kahn Yuniver Law represents individuals, businesses, investors, and developers in residential and commercial property matters, guiding clients from contract negotiations through due diligence and closing.

We consider each transaction in light of the client’s intended use of the property, financing arrangements, and long-term plans. Our attorneys explain the contractual obligations, identify issues requiring further review, and coordinate with the other participants to address outstanding requirements before closing.

Residential Purchases and Sales

We represent buyers and sellers of condominium and cooperative apartments, single-family homes, and multifamily properties. Our work includes drafting and reviewing purchase agreements, negotiating riders, and explaining contingencies, deposits, deadlines, and default provisions. We assist with:

  • Contract preparation, review, and negotiation
  • Review of condominium and cooperative documents relevant to the transaction
  • Coordination of contractual financing and approval requirements
  • Closing document review, preparation, and representation
We tailor the review to the property and transaction, helping clients understand the commitments they are making and the issues that should be addressed before they become contractually bound.

Commercial Acquisitions and Sales

We advise on the acquisition and disposition of commercial, mixed-use, and multifamily investment properties. Our attorneys review purchase agreements and related documents with attention to existing leases, contractual representations, due diligence rights, and conditions to closing. We help clients evaluate how the transaction terms align with their investment objectives and address legal concerns that may affect the proposed transfer or continued operation of the property.

Commercial Leasing

We represent landlords and tenants in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial leases and related agreements. We address base rent and additional charges, permitted use, maintenance and repairs, build-out responsibilities, guarantees, assignment and subletting, renewal options, and termination rights. We also assist with lease amendments and extensions, considering how the terms may affect operating costs, flexibility, and future business plans.

Contract Review and Property Due Diligence

Our review focuses on the legal and contractual issues relevant to the property. Depending on the matter, this may include existing leases, condominium or cooperative records, title exceptions, recorded restrictions, and outstanding property-related obligations. We identify concerns requiring clarification, additional documentation, or further review by the appropriate professionals, and negotiate contractual protections where appropriate.

Title Review and Resolution of Closing Issues

We review title reports and coordinate with title companies and other transaction participants regarding liens, judgments, recorded interests, and other matters that may affect the transfer. When issues arise, we help determine the documents or corrective steps needed and address the parties’ contractual responsibilities for resolving them.

Closing Preparation and Representation

Our attorneys track contractual deadlines and coordinate the legal documents and deliverables required for closing. We review closing statements and adjustments, explain the documents clients will sign, and work with lenders, brokers, managing agents, and opposing counsel as appropriate. From contract execution through the transfer of ownership, we provide clear updates about outstanding items and the steps needed to complete the transaction.
