When Jeff Margolis represents a real estate client, he brings to the table more than thirty years experience in the field. Margolis is proud to call himself a “dirt” lawyer: a specialist in property transactions: buying, selling, developing, leasing and financing.
Jeff is well versed in the laws and regulations governing commercial and residential real estate transactions in the State of New York and has a strong command of the processes involved in purchase, sale and lease of office, industrial, residential and retail/restaurant properties.
The Margolis Law Firm has guided leading developers, owners, and tenants of all types through the intricacies of New York real estate law. Specific areas of representation include purchase, sale and leasing of office, industrial and retail/restaurant properties. All cases are personally supervised by Jeff Margolis, a nationally recognized real estate lawyer who has often lectured and written on this highly specialized area of New York law.
On the residential side, we represent buyers and sellers of high-end single family homes, co-ops, condominiums and townhouses. We distinguish this practice by offering aggressive “New York style” representation and personal service. As seller’s counsel we look to cover all those loopholes and contingencies which create uncertainty and sometimes disappointment. As purchaser’s counsel, we seek to maximize seller disclosures and representations and work hard to assure that our client gets all that has been bargained for…with no unpleasant surprises!
