Whether you are purchasing your first home or selling a residential property, dedicated legal representation matters. We help keep contract deadlines on track and protect your financial interests throughout the entire process.

If you are buying a franchise and need help leasing or purchasing commercial space, our attorneys can assist with your transaction as well.
Frequently Asked Questions About Real Estate Law in New Jersey
Real estate transactions in New Jersey can involve unique legal procedures. Below are answers to common questions our clients ask during the buying and selling process.
Do I need a lawyer to buy a house in New Jersey?
New Jersey law does not require every buyer to hire a lawyer, but most residential transactions in the state include an attorney review period, and having counsel is strongly advisable. A lawyer can protect your rights and interests as a buyer, especially during contract review, title clearance and closing. We can also address any legal red flags early, helping you avoid expensive surprises down the road.
What is attorney review?
Attorney review is a three-business-day period that begins when a signed New Jersey residential real estate contract prepared by a real estate broker or agent is delivered to the buyer and seller. During this period, either party’s attorney can review the contract, propose changes or disapprove (cancel) it. We use it to protect your interests before you are legally bound.
