Real Estate Attorneys

We understand how important it is to hire the right attorney to represent you with your real estate matters.

Like many other big decisions, choosing the right lawyer for your case can be a challenging pursuit. However, detailed research into prospects can help make your decision easier. You'll see from Polanco & Associates, PLLC's experienced team, you will be hiring the best legal representation available. We’re committed to providing all our clients with superior legal guidance and representation in New York, Bronx, Brooklyn, Westchester, Suffolk, Nassau, Queens, and Richmond counties. Polanco & Associates, PLLC has successfully represented clients in some of the following areas below:

• Real Estate Transactions - We represent individuals in the purchase or sale of their coop, condo units, and real property. Each lawyer has a particular area of focus, so we can give you prudent and sound legal advice no matter what your real estate related problem is.

• Foreclosure Defense - Foreclosure is a legal action taken by a lender against a homeowner, in an effort to take ownership of the property in order to satisfy a debt. When a homeowner defaults on his or her mortgage loan, the lender may actually take ownership of the property or may have the property sold as a means of paying off the debt. When foreclosure proceedings are complete, the homeowner would have lost all rights to the property. We will answer questions on short sales, bankruptcy, and loan modifications.

  Because foreclosure is actually a complex court process, it is important to at least consult an attorney in order to find out your rights and options in this regard. At Polanco & Associates PLLC, our Queens, Bronx, Brooklyn and New York foreclosure defense attorneys are highly experienced in defending homeowners who are at risk of losing their homes due to foreclosure. We welcome you to contact Polanco & Associates PLLC for a free consultation.

• Short Sale - For homeowners who can no longer afford to keep mortgage payments current, there are alternatives to bankruptcy or foreclosure proceedings. One of those options is called a short sale. When lenders agree to a short sale in real estate, it means they are willing to release their lien against the discounted payoffs, especially if it would make more financial sense to foreclose.

  As you may already be aware, this particular type of transaction requires an attorney with the patience and knowledge necessary to preserve in the continual, and sometimes frustrating, discussion with the lender.

  At Polanco & Associates, PLLC, we have experience in negotiating short sales with numerous lending institutions. Our process is based on the wisdom gained in successfully closing countless short sale transactions thus rendering it efficient and reliable.

• Modification - Many homeowners today find they are having financial difficulty in making their mortgage-payments. Almost all banks and mortgage-companies have developed some type of mortgage modification program. These programs involve renegotiating the interest rate on a mortgage, the monthly-mortgage payments, the term of the mortgage or the principal amount due on the mortgage. All of these mortgage modification programs (such as HAMP) require filling out a variety of applications and submitting various affidavits and financial information to the financial institution.

  Polanco & Associates, PLLC has, for many years, represented homeowners with difficulties in meeting their mortgage-obligations. We often find that the mortgage modification process, instead of being an easy way for homeowners to deal with financial difficulties, turns out to be a maze of paperwork and bureaucracy that simply gives lip service to the concept of mortgage modification. Through our efforts, we have helped numerous homeowners modify their mortgages. We protect our client if foreclosure proceedings are commenced and see to it that these proceedings do not move quickly through the court system. We seek to motivate the mortgage-company to modify the mortgage.

• Landlord Tenant - The attorneys at Polanco & Associates PLLC have vigorously represented both landlords and tenants in New York City for over ten years. Handling cases for both landlords and tenants has sharpened our skills by allowing us to understand the strengths and weaknesses of both sides. This allows us to better prepare for whatever the other side may raise in court and develop a winning strategy. If it is a landlord and tenant dispute, we have successfully handled it.

• Partition - Under New York Law, a partition is a remedy that is available to any person who is the co-owner of property. There are two ways to effectuate a partition of real estate in New York. The parties can come to an agreement for voluntary partition with the aid of their lawyers, or they can file a partition action in NY to get a judicial ruling on the division of land. Although voluntary partitions require far less litigation and court time than a judicial partition, the parties still need New York partition action lawyers to represent their interests and ensure that their property rights are protected throughout the partition negotiation process with the other owners. Polanco & Associates, PLLC has successfully represented co-owner in partition actions.
