Know what the fee covers
before you commit.
Flat-fee representation is available for many residential closings. Request a quote; the quote and our engagement letter describe what the fee covers.
Third-party costs (such as title insurance, transfer and mortgage recording taxes, and recording fees) are separate. Commercial and investor matters may be priced differently; request a quote to discuss. A quote is not an engagement; representation begins only under a signed engagement letter with Rausa Russo Law, PLLC.
We represent clients in real estate transactions throughout New York State. Local customs, taxes, and fees vary by county and region. Want to read first? See our guides to buying a home and selling a home in New York, or our explainer on New York closing costs.
- The county where the property is located and the type of property
- An approximate price range, or the lease terms if you are leasing
- Whether you are already in contract, and your expected timeline
- Whether a mortgage, a 1031 exchange, or an LLC or trust is involved
You do not need all of this to get started. Real Estate & Closings is a practice group of Rausa Russo Law, PLLC, not a separate firm. Visit the Real Estate & Closings hub.

Free to request. About two minutes. No obligation.
Your quote request has been submitted.

While You Wait
- If you have not signed a contract yet, consider waiting until an attorney has reviewed it.
- Emailed wiring instructions can be faked. Before sending money, we recommend confirming them by phone with a trusted representative at a number you already know.
- Keep your contract, listing, lender, and building documents together in one place.
Document handling: If we speak, we will provide a secure way to share documents. Please do not email sensitive files to us until we have confirmed representation.

Is the quote free?
Requesting a quote is free and does not obligate you to anything. A quote is not an engagement; representation begins only under a signed engagement letter. Submitting this form does not create an attorney-client relationship.
