Law Office of Gregory Akselband

We had a great experience with Greg on a recent home purchase. Navigating real estate in New York City is complex and Greg is the consummate pro. He is consistent, knowledgeable and timely; we knew we did not have to worry about the process moving forward effectively because Greg was driving it. He was very responsive and always prepared to answer questions. At our closing, he was patient, kind and thorough. Highly recommend working with Greg!

Greg was my Counsel on a recently concluded home purchase. He was a consummate professional and his attention to detail and the strength of his expertise while dealing with the buyers legal team was truly exceptional. Given the stressful, complicated and involved process that accompanies a home purchase I was extremely relieved to have someone like Greg as guardian of my interests through the transaction. I will certainly be relying on him again if I need these services again and I would recommend him unequivocally to anyone needing a real estate lawyer. Thank you Greg!!

It was a real pleasure to work with Greg. He was the attorney who assisted me for the purchase of a co-op apartment in NYC. He was straight forward, up front and there were no surprises. He stated his fee which was collected at closing. I received the closing statement prior to closing so I knew all the charges. Greg represented me as my power of attorney at closing. He was very prompt in responding to any questions I had by phone, text or email. I highly recommend Greg as a real estate attorney.

Buying and selling NYC real estate is not fun overly complex. You need someone like Greg on your team fighting for you and persisting through any challenges that may arise. He is a true expert and guided us through both the sale of our co-op and purchase of a condo, both of which had their share of challenges. He kept us informed throughout, communicated different courses of action clearly and worked hard to get the deals done. Could not recommend him more!

We were introduced to Greg three years ago by the real estate agent we were using to buy a condo in NYC. That transaction was very difficult because of the seller, but Greg walked with us and helped with all of the various issues that arose. We felt that, at the end of the day, he was our best advocate for this transaction. At the closing we were pleasantly surprised by his low fee-because he spent a lot of time holding our hands and talking me off the ledge! Fast forward to 2020 when my wife and I decided to sell that condo and move out of state. Although we interviewed multiple real estate agents and brokers, Greg was our first and only choice for attorney! Like the original purchase of this condo, this transaction was made difficult by a buyer who struggled to get a mortgage during the COVID lockdown. Once again, Greg walked with us every step of the way. He was constantly giving us updates and he made him self available at any time that we needed his advice and guidance. We ended up closing on the condo after we left NYC and Greg handled the entire closing virtually without our help! For the second time, Greg stepped up and handled a difficult transaction with skill, good advice, and timeliness. We recommend Greg highly for any real estate transaction. He was the best attorney we have ever used!

I have never written a google review in my life but Greg made everything so easy for us, and advised us so insightfully and clearly, as new buyers in a complicated and time-sensitive situation, that I had to come here to rave. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is who you want!

Greg handled two real estate closings for us. He did a great job on the due diligence, communicated frequently and proactively with us and the other parties real estate brokers, managing agent, banks, and was completely transparent on his billing. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again or recommend him to others.

My wife and I purchased a bigger NYC co-op apartment to accommodate our growing family, and also sold our prior apartment once we moved into the new place. For both transactions, we hired Gregory as our real-estate attorney. Gregory was recommended to us by our broker for the first purchase transaction and we had such great experience we hired Gregory again for the sale. Gregory knows all the details about Manhattan co-op transactions and is always quick to respond. I handed everything over to him and he took care of everything, including reminding me of anything I missed. We highly recommend Gregory and look forward to work with him again for future legal needs.
