I think it was about $950.

If you need a recommendation, let me know, my brother is a lawyer.

The lawyer I am using to sell my co-op was the lawyer that has done all my prior co-op sales. She is based in Queens and knows the people in the co-op management office... and has worked with my realtor on many closings in the past. I wanted to use a lawyer that knew what MY co-op wanted.

But I also wanted to use a different lawyer for the house... someone preferably in Long Island that was more familiar with house closings and closings in the area I am buying. Kinda the same idea as the co-op... i wanted someone that specialized in the area I am dealing with.


If I had to do it again... I am not sure if I would do this because it may get tricky if would have had to schedule both closings on the same day. But thank god I don't have to do that so all will go as planned.

Yes...I used the same lawyer for the closing of my condo and for my house...both closings were on the same day at the lawyer's house.

See thats the other thing that would make it more complicated. My co-op closing MUST happen in the co-op's office. Its in their by-laws.
