Real Estate Attorneys Serving Brooklyn & Manhattan

Golding & Associates PLLC brings over 20 years of experience handling real estate matters throughout Brooklyn, Manhattan, and the greater New York City area. We represent buyers, sellers, developers, and investors across every stage of a transaction — from contract to closing, and through litigation when disputes arise.

Real Estate Closings

Unlike other jurisdictions, New York City real estate brokers cannot hand out draft contracts for parties to sign before attorney review. Instead, the broker prepares a “set up” sheet, contacts the seller’s attorney, and a draft contract is prepared and negotiated between attorneys before signing. We guide clients through this entire process — contract review and negotiation, title searches, resolving title defects, and coordinating with lenders, brokers, and opposing counsel — for both residential and commercial closings.

Real Estate Litigation

Not every transaction goes smoothly. When disputes arise over contracts, title, boundaries, or broker commissions, our litigation team protects your interests both in and out of the courtroom. We handle foreclosure defense, deed theft cases, partition actions, landlord-tenant disputes, and broker/commission disputes throughout the five boroughs.

Real Estate Development

Developers and investors turn to Golding & Associates for practical legal guidance on ground-up construction, mixed-use projects, and joint venture deals. We assist with the purchase of development sites, joint venture agreements, construction contracts, and entity formation — helping clients navigate New York City’s regulatory landscape from acquisition through completion.

Buying a House

Before you look for a house, it’s essential to determine how much you can afford and understand your financing options. You’ll also need to define your priorities and know how to find homes that meet your needs. An attorney helps you navigate inspections, offers, and the closing process from start to finish.

Selling a House

If you’re selling a home, timing the sale properly, pricing it accurately, and understanding disclosure requirements all matter. An attorney ensures your contract and closing protect your interests.

Title matters in every transaction — a title insurance company or attorney typically investigates whether title is marketable, and title insurance protects buyers against losses if it isn’t. Financing is most commonly handled through a mortgage, and all real estate contracts must be in writing under New York’s Statute of Frauds.

With deep roots in the Brooklyn and Manhattan legal community, Golding & Associates PLLC is proud to be one of the few Black-owned law firms in New York City providing sophisticated real estate representation to individuals, families, and businesses alike.
