Real state attorney fee?

Hi everyone,

How much did you pay your attorney during closing?
We are planning to buy a condo in Brooklyn. We got a quote from an attorney who was recommended by our agent for $2000.00. Is this reasonable?

TIA! WR

  • I don't know if you saw it on the other board, but I'm paying $950.

  • Thanks a lot Nova.

    I saw ladies from other states as well so I posted here to get info from more NY residents. 
    $2000.00 sounds high. Do you know how I can shop for attorney?

    TIA!

  • mine was recommended by a friend.  Has anybody else you know bought a condo lately that can recommend one?

  • We paid $1500.  I think that is pretty standard.  My real estate attorney friends all charge around the same amount for real estate closings.  $950 is really, really low - I wouldn't expect to find many attorneys who charge under $1,000 for a closing.
