Short sale

Richard DeVita was recommended to me to effect a short sale after an apartment I had owned in New Jersey and vacated in 2010 had been sold on several times to different loan companies that had refused to foreclose or agree a DIL and were charging excessive fees. He resolved the issues quickly and eff...ectively and the sale was finally closed today. I echo the review by Deborah on this website.

Excellent Service

Richard is a great attorney to hire. Not only does he have great personality and high professionalism, he is also tremendously patient and devoted towards his client. He will try to answer all my questions on a timely manner so that I could feel comfortable about every move with my first home purch...ase. Also, he went extra miles to fight for my benefit to ensure that I am protected by all the agreed terms in the contract. I highly recommend Richard!!

Attorney

I worked with Rich to purchase my first home. My purchase was easily on the smaller side of his book of business but he made sure to give me the time I needed and to pay attention to all of the details of my project. He made sure I had all of the information to make smart decisions and guided me thr...ough what can be a very daunting process. He also has a great personality and closes fast!

Home Purchase

Richard is very professional and knows the knowledge well. Had a lot of questions along the journey of purchasing my first Condo in Hoboken, Richard replied to all my emails/concerns and guided me through the process. Would highly recommend!

Prompt, Professional and Strong Guidance

Rich has been a thorough professional and perfect guide through the tedious process of purchasing our first condo. Despite of running into possession delays with the building, we were able to do smooth closing. With all the moving discussions with real state agent, buidling management, Rich has been ...working through us all along. He was very prompt for all the follow-ups with everyone to keep our stress to a minimal. He went above and beyond to help close the entire process. I strongly recommend Rich to everyone.
