Closing on house

Michael Baer was very professional and helpful in the closing on our longtime home. He was through, easy to communicate with, and made this emotional process very easy and straightforward. I would absolutely recommend Michael and use him again!

Professional, very kind and optimistic

I met him to sell my house. He was excellent, patient and very optimistic in guiding me through stressful process. I was so lucky to have him as my real estate attorney. I won't be able to sell my house without his hard work.

I put my house up for sale and hired Michael as my attorney. He was very helpful in keeping down my stress level during this process. I had four different offers on my property that did not make it through to fruition but Michael was there encouraging me to be patient (which he is) that the right b...uyer would come along. He is very helpful, knowledgeable and took my calls no matter how many times I called him panicking. He helped me to navigate everything that I had to do successfully. I would highly recommend Michael as an attorney. You will not be disappointed.

Excellent Real Estate Attorney - Simultaneous Buy and Sell

Michael Baer handled the simultaneous sale of our old house and the purchase of our new house. I can tell you that selling and buying at the same time is one of the most stressful times of your life as both transactions have to be seamless otherwise both fall through. You need an attorney who can man...age the process and that attorney is Michael Baer. The process was very smooth as he communicated every step of the way and made me and my family comfortable that he had our best interests at heart every step of the way. At one point I sent him the following message and I believe it sums up the experience and stress/uncertainty/nerves of the whole process. “I just want to give you a hug right now for the way you manage all of this...I need order in my life and you provide it and are willing to deal with my stress to make sure the family has what they need.” We received an offer on July 2nd when Michael was out of the country and were under contract on July 6th and made an offer the same night. On July 8th our offer was accepted and the attorney review process was underway. We didn’t miss a beat with him being out of the country as he has an amazing team that was ready willing and able to take care of everything even with him thousands of miles away. Through the inspections and appraisals he was cool, calm, and collected. Any hiccup that came up he dealt with and made sure that both deals were on track. The best feeling was when he called and said, the closing is set and it’s time to sign. A real estate transaction is likely one of the biggest purchases/sales of your life and you can’t take a chance on the wrong lawyer. You will be in the best position possible if you pick Michael Baer.

Excellent and patient Real Estate Attorney

This was our first home purchase. Michael was excellent in guiding us through the process. He worked so hard in getting the deal done. Though we had many hickups due to circumstances beyond our control, Michael remained professional, calm and patient. He works so hard to make sure that the deal i...s consummated. I can recommend him highly. He is the best!!!!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
