Richard DeVita

Mr DeVita was both extremely professional and helpful throughout my home closing process. As a first time homebuyer, I had many questions and concerns. He took the time to explain everything to me and walk me through the entire process. He was extremely responsive and helped be close within 1 month w...ith extras I wasn't expecting. Thanks Richard!

This was the second time I used Richard as my attorney for the purchase/sale of my home. He was available every step of the way through the long process for me and my wife. Richard was both thorough and to the point and available for any questions we had. He was persistent following up with other ...attorneys and always out for my best interest. I would highly recommend Richard to anyone seeking an attorney. I wish all my attorney experiences were this pleasant.

Short sale - the best attorney

Richard was recommended to me by my real estate agent for a short sale property my family owned. This was not an easy short sale at all and he worked through all of the challenges quickly and patiently. I have one word to describe Richard: AWESOME! He is the best. Almost all of our interactions were ...done over email/phone and was very responsive with all of my emails and phone calls. Broke down all of the legal terms to me in a way I can easily understand, spoke to the point, very patient, trustworthy, and very kind. My family and I are very grateful for all that Richard did during the short sale of our property. It was a pleasure working with him and we highly recommend Richard!

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!
