Mortgage Financing

I work for a commercial real estate investment firm. Louis helped our firm refinance a mortgage on a retail shopping center. Louis was great to work with throughout the entire process. He was especially helpful with arranging title and negotiating loan documents. I would be happy to work with him... again and would recommend him to other owners.

Refi / Deed

Had to refinance my property while removing an co-owner from the deed. Was getting nothing but confusion and bad information from the bank and title company. Louis stepped in and immediately took control of the situation - knew exactly what to do and what was needed from all parties. He made the tr...ansaction painless and my stress was gone. Very professional and knowledgable. Thank you Louis!

Excellent Lawyer

I use Louis for my refinancing closing. He was great, he was knowlegable, prompt to responds to my questions and inquiries, and guided me through a tough refinance closing. I would highly recommend Louis.

Exceptional Job!

Louis Chapman helped my wife and I close on our first house in the easiest way imaginable. From the first phone call, Louis provided his knowledge and expertise, and explained to us exactly what we needed to do to close while having our best interests represented. He successfully negotiated on our be...half with the seller on certain closing terms, and identified potential problems and how to resolve them. He also helped us navigate financing a loan through his great network of real estate professionals. He went out of his way to make himself available to us and was always easily reachable to answer our questions with very knowledgable, experienced, and professional legal counsel. We are so happy that we chose Louis to represent us, and highly recommend him.

Great job on challenging closing

I worked with Louis to close the purchase my first home in New Jersey. The transaction was particularly challenging because it was a Bank owned property and they wanted to close as soon as possible. My mortgage company was extremely slow in processing my mortgage, partly due to the fact that I am not... a US native. Louis helped me work with the bank and get them to accept the changes in the timeline that we needed without any penalties. The actual closing appointment was very smooth and Louis was well prepared with all the documents, and the numbers were correct. I heard horror stories from friends who stayed for hours at the closing attorney's office due to mistakes found in the documents on the day of. I was so happy to have gone in there and 1h later come out with the keys to my new house. I would definitely recommend his services.
