Excellent Real Estate Attorney

My wife and I were first-time homebuyers and we're referred to Ben Cooper by our realtor. Our realtor assured us that she had worked with Ben on many closings and that he was one of the best around. Not wanting to take any chances with our first time transaction, we heeded the realtors advice and hir...ed Ben and did not regret the decision. Not having dealt with real estate attorneys, much less attorneys in general, I never thought I would receive the personal attention and care that we received from Ben. Both Ben and his employees are highly experienced, organized and skilled. They are quick to pick up the phone and are quick to act on all aspects of the home-buying procedure. Ben is clear and concise and walked us through every step. Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of our experience with Ben is how he handled our mortgage loaner. Our mortgage loaner had me screaming SERENITY NOW throughout the entire process and made things unreasonably difficult for all parties involved in the process. Ben handled these people better than I ever could. Other friends who have used our lender have not made their closing dates due to the lenders unreasonable and unorganized last minute requests - however we closed on time which was a direct result of Ben's attentiveness. In summary, Ben Cooper was great. We felt like he really looked out for us throughout the process as a good attorney should. He understood what the house meant to us, and worked with us and the seller's attorney smoothly and professionally, and made some useful and productive suggestions as he saw them.

Real Estate Attorney

Ben was the attorney for both the sale of our home and purchase of new home. He was extremely responsive via both email and phone. He put our minds at ease during some uneasy negotiations. Extremely professional, prepared and concise during both closings. Would highly recommend Ben.

Dependable Execution

We have worked with Ben on a few Real Estate Transactions and were pleased with his dependability and execution at carrying out both straight forward transactions and difficult ones as well. Ben was a straight forward professional that was always available for us during these sometimes emotional tra...nsactions. He was able to give us great advice and deliver results we agreed on and represent us perfectly. Both closings were executed perfectly and easy and his team is great to work with.

An attorney that has YOUR best interest in mind

We were referred to Ben Cooper by our real-estate agent to assist in the sale of one house and purchase of another. Our previous experience with a real-estate lawyer was not great. Ben was fantastic. He is intelligent and has an excellent knowledge of real-estate law. We always felt that Ben ha...d our best interest in mind. We never felt rushed when working with him and he always made sure we understood and were comfortable when negotiating terms in our contract. After inspection of our sale house, Ben was instrumental in advising us on concessions and worked aggressively to make sure that our terms were accepted. Now that we have found Ben, we are sure to use him in all our future real-estate transactions.

Excellent Experience, Highly Recommend

Ben was a true help and resource during our recent real estate purchase. He was always prompt in response to any questions that we had and helped us to navigate the entire process in a professional manner. Beyond that, Ben took a genuine interest in the fact that we were new to the area and spent t...ime to make us feel welcome and connect us with others in the neighborhood. I would absolutely recommend Ben!
