Why Hire a Real Estate Attorney If You Have an Agent?

Real estate agents play a critical role in helping buyers and sellers connect, negotiate prices, and keep deals on track. But when it comes to the legal side of things—contracts, contingencies, and potential disputes—it’s your attorney who protects your rights.

An agent can tell you what’s standard. An attorney can tell you what’s risky.

At Shiryak & Habib LLP, we don’t just glance at contracts—we dissect them. We look at your goals, your risks, and the language used to make sure everything aligns with your best interests. Real estate agents can't give legal advice or revise legal documents. When the stakes involve your property, your money, and your peace of mind, having a legal advocate on your side isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity.

What We Look for in Every Contract

Our job is to help you avoid problems before they happen. That means digging into the details and asking the right questions. 

Here’s what we focus on:

  • Contingencies and deadlines – We make sure that key protections—like financing and inspection contingencies—are clearly written and realistically timed. 
  • Title and survey issues – We catch contract language that could expose you to title risks or boundary disputes down the line. 
  • Liability exposure – Whether you're buying or selling, we identify language that could shift risk unfairly to your side. 
  • Ambiguous clauses – Vague language is a breeding ground for lawsuits. We flag and revise unclear terms to prevent future conflict. 
  • Post-closing obligations – From repairs to occupancy timelines, we make sure everyone knows exactly what happens after the deal is done.

Real estate deals move fast in Queens, but that’s no excuse to overlook the fine print. We help slow things down just enough to make sure you’re protected.

Contracts Should Protect You—Not Confuse You

The wrong wording—or the absence of the right wording—can leave you vulnerable. At Shiryak & Habib LLP, we help make sure the documents you sign reflect your intentions and protect your investment. Whether you're signing an agreement today or you’ve been handed a contract you're unsure about, our team is here to help you make confident, informed decisions.
