I am very thankful that my daughter had already had excellent experiences with Susan Groberg and therefore recommended her highly when I recently moved to New York. I have now used Susan to buy a condominium and sell it, as well as buy the house I now live in. The first time I used her, I wasn't even in the country but Susan stepped me through the process. She has always been solid with her knowledge of, and perspective on, New York real estate. She has also been very responsive and protective, making sure I didn't allow harmful mistakes in the process or let myself be taken advantage of. Her communication is direct and clear, and she's accommodating when needed. Her assistant, Sara Opoczynski, has also been wonderful. I have been so pleased that I am now going to use Susan for estate issues and making a will.
Susan is as good as they come! She was our attorney for a condo purchase and she made sure that we get the right deal from the sellers, in terms of what we want them to clear out of the apartment and what they should fix etc. She is very thorough and you should listen to everything she says, as it really helps during the purchase. The sellers had left a big closet in the apartment on the day of the closing and Susan was straightforward with them that its their responsibility to take it out, as our contract never mentioned them to leave it there. Had it not been for Susan, we would have to deal with that ourselves. I highly recommend Susan as an attorney for a real-estate purchase!
My husband and I signed a contract to buy in a small coop building in New York Brooklyn, and we thought we'd have an easy purchase since it was a sponsor sale. Well it was anything but easy... and it took six months to close! I thank my lucky stars I was referred to Susan by another friend who had used Susan and raved about her. Even before we hired Susan officially, she took my calls and talked me through things for hours to help me understand the uniqueness of NYC real estate. And she seemed way more thorough than any other lawyer we spoke to. Once we did retain her, I always felt like she was working in my best interest, not her own, which meant a lot because I can't say the same thing about our bank or mortgage specialist. Yes, she was a little more expensive than others and some people told me she was "oldschool," but I found her amazing and thorough and always available, and I believe that few extra hundred made all the difference in us actually getting to the finish line. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.
Susan Groberg is a truly excellent real estate attorney. And she has great people working with her; Sara Opoczynski is fantastic at her job and went above and beyond for us. Have worked with Susan on multiple occasions and would never go anywhere else. Cannot recommend her highly enough.
Very very very rude woman.
