Residential Real Estate Attorneys for Upper New York

In many states, the title company and the real estate agents can complete the entire closing for a residential homebuyer and seller. In New York, it is customary that attorneys for the buyer, seller and lender are present.

Wertime Ries & Van Ullen is also an authorized agent for Chicago Title Insurance Company. A New York Title Insurance agent may also be needed at the residential real estate closing. Our reputation in this area is excellent, and so we are the recipients of a number of referrals from former clients, from real estate brokers and from other attorneys.
