Why Marano Law
Your biggest purchase deserves your own lawyer.
Brokers, lenders and title companies each look after their piece of the deal. Your attorney looks after you, catching contract problems, title defects and closing-cost errors before they cost you money.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I get started?+
Call or email us. We'll talk through your deal, then send a retainer agreement for you to sign. Once it's signed, send us your accepted offer or contract and your attorney gets to work.
What's included?+
All of your attorney's work on your residential purchase or sale: contract review and negotiation, title and survey review, lender coordination, the closing statement and attending the closing.
What isn't included?+
Third-party closing costs: title insurance, transfer and mortgage taxes, recording fees, lender fees and any co-op or condo fees. We review every one of them on your closing statement so you know exactly what you're paying.
When should I hire an attorney, before or after I sign?+
Before. The best time to bring us in is as soon as you have an accepted offer, so we can review or negotiate the contract before you're bound by it.
What is a 1031 like-kind exchange?+
A way to defer capital gains tax when you sell an investment property and buy another one. Strict deadlines apply (45 days to identify a replacement and 180 days to close), so we coordinate the timeline with your qualified intermediary from the start.
Should I buy a rental property in an LLC?+
Often, yes. It can separate the property's risks from your personal assets. It needs to be formed before closing so the deed and title go in the LLC's name, which is why we offer it as an add-on.
Do I have to be at the closing in person?+
Not always. Depending on the lender and the documents, some or all signing can be done ahead of time or remotely. We'll tell you early what your closing will require.
