Guiding Buyers and Sellers Through Complex Residential Transactions

For individuals either selling or buying a primary or secondary residence, Federman’s lawyers draw upon decades long relationships with real estate brokers, managing agents and mortgage brokers to quickly and efficiently navigate the closing process.  We assist our clients and their brokers on board and mortgage packages, as well as preparation for board interviews, where applicable. Federman helps its clients in evaluating the health of a project or a building and secures rights for its clients in the event the client is not delivered the property in the condition required by agreements. Federman’s residential real estate attorneys have closed some of the most significant single-family townhouse acquisitions and sales in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
