Cassin & Cassin LLP

My wife and I were fortunate to work with Steven Ebert at Cassin & Cassin on the purchase of our first home together. From before-contract to closing, Steven was an invaluable resource, honest advocate, and genuinely wonderful colleague to have at our side in the trenches of what proved to be a difficult transaction. His encyclopedic knowledge of real estate law felt rivaled only by his ability to simplify it in digestible terms, bringing transparency and open communication to every step of the process. When confronted with a challenging sell side, Steven, working in lockstep with our talented agent, saved the deal on multiple occasions with tactful negotiations and enforced accountability. With their guidance, we were able to work through numerous attempts by the seller’s agent to defy and obfuscate their contractual obligations and later their unethical effort to conceal a known mechanical issue at the property, which we were fortunate to catch on the final walkthrough and, with Steven's help, receive satisfactory compensation for, allowing the closing to proceed on schedule. Being able to navigate every such scenario with full knowledge of our rights gave us the confidence we needed as first-time homebuyers to confidently stand our ground and protect our best interests. We equally leaned on Steven’s experience to decide which battles weren’t worth fighting — a key trait for any effective advisor, and one Steven excels at with the foremost professionalism and integrity. Furthermore, his backing from a reputable and specialized law firm added a welcome layer of efficiency and support, whether managing key dates to coordinating with our lender. We cannot recommend Steven and Cassin & Cassin enough. They were worth every cent of their fee and more.
