Closing Process & Timeline

Closing on a home in New York City has a few NYC-specific steps. Here is what to expect — and how we keep it moving.

What to Expect

In New York, real estate transactions involve attorneys: after your offer is accepted, your attorney reviews and negotiates the contract, and handles the legal steps through closing. If you are buying a co-op or certain condos, the building may require a board package and interview. We coordinate among you, your attorney, the lender, and the building so the timeline stays on track, right through the final walkthrough and signing. Exact timelines vary with financing and the building’s requirements.
