5-Stars from these First-Time Buyers

We loved working with Matt and his team. We were first-time home buyers, and they made the process as transparent and stress free as possible. And since you can’t plan for every possible bump in the road, Matt was extremely flexible and helpful in helping us navigate the process, especially one chal...lenge in particular. His timeliness and responsiveness was also noticed and greatly appreciated. We’d love to work with Matt again in any future real estate endeavors and highly recommend him and his team to friend, family, and others.

Need more stars

Matt served not only as legal counsel, but also a system of support during a difficult closing execution. He was professional, efficient, and personable, all the while keeping his sense of humor intact. Without his help, we know we would not have been able to come out of this transaction unscathed. H...e stood by every one of our requests, worked after hours and advocated for us through it all. His calm and confident demeanor kept us grounded; we knew we were in good hands because of his personalized care and professionalism. Highly recommend this whole team!

First Time Homebuyers

Matt was our attorney for our 1st home purchase. From the first time we spoke on the phone Matt did a wonderful job easing our first time buyer jitters. We never waited for a response from Matt or his team, he answered all of our questions, some probably sillier than others, all in a friendly helpful... and quick manner. We had several hiccups from the sellers side and Matt was great to resolve them, keep us informed and keep our closing date the same. When closing day came Matt was there to answer our last second questions and guide us through the mountain of paperwork we had to sign. Everything was explained to us in detail as we signed and we left there with such a weight lighted off our shoulders (minus the new mortgage bill of course!) Thanks Matt for all of your guidance throughout and for making our first home purchase an "easy" one!

Top Notch Real Estate Attorney

Attorney Scafidi is not only an effective and competent attorney, he is also honest and is dedicated to his clients. Attorney Scafidi has represented me in the purchase of my home and has also assisted me having a small property line amended. With respect to the purchase of my home, Attorney Scafid...i did a top-notch job. There were a few clauses in the proposed closing documents sent by the seller’s attorney, that, at the end of the day, would not likely apply to my purchase and if they did, were standard. He could have left the clauses as is, but he worked to renegotiate those details and was able to convince the sellers to adopt language that was more beneficial to me as the buyer. Moral of the story? Not only is he a zealous advocate for his clients, he is not lazy and really digs into the finer details of every transaction. That’s exactly what you want in a lawyer. Attorney Scafidi’s work on my property line issues were equally impressive. A seemingly simple process, as all parties agreed to the amendment of the property line, became unnecessarily difficult when the Registry of Deeds would not accept the paperwork and were making demands that would have cost me big bucks, Attorney Scafidi persisted and went straight to the top. After a lengthy back and forth he was able to convince the Registry to accept the documents I had created for the amendment to the property line and saved me a lot of time, headache, and money. Attorney Scafidi gets results and he is the only attorney I would ever consider for my real estate needs. I have referred him to friends and everyone sings his praises.
