Let’s get one thing out of the way: the New York real estate contract is standard. Everyone uses the same one. But the Rider? That’s where the action is.

The Rider is where I, as your attorney, protect your interests, anticipate roadblocks, and tailor the deal to your specific situation. Whether it's board approval timelines, contingency clauses, or repair responsibilities, the Rider shapes how the deal actually plays out in real life.

Buyers often assume the contract is the hard part. But the truth is, crafting the right Rider—and doing so efficiently—is what sets great real estate attorneys apart.

“Sure, we all use the same forms. But the Riders are where the rubber meets the road.”
