Very good real estate lawyer for first-time home buyers.

I am a first-time home buyers and would recommend Jean Chou as a real estate attorney with reasonable rates. I say she's very good. Jean is very thorough and considerate with our real estate purchase. She has a deep knowledge of condos and coops and looks out for her client's best interest. Des...pite the challenges and delays imposed by our seller's attorney and bank, Jean swiftly responded to my many inquiries with sound advice and helped move along the closing as best as she's capable of doing. Jean's also very respectful and easy to work with. She has a network of professional contacts from mortgage bankers to appraisers needed for the purchase. Some are better than others. Please check their references. (I do not recommend Chau Huynh at Wells Fargo who is very unresponsive and curt and the appraiser who did a hasty job.) However, I do appreciate Jean's ready recommendations. Overall, Jean was great in handling our case. Her office is easy to get to and she always makes herself available to answer questions and go out of her way to make sure her client's voice is heard.

Attentive, Responsive and Helpful

Jean assisted me with my first condo purchase in NYC and she turned a daunting experience into a pleasurable one. She showed good knowledge of the law and great attention to detail - demonstrated when she negotiated parts of the contract to my financial benefit. Jean even went out of her way to help ...when my bank was dragging its heels with my mortgage approval. Communications from Jean were friendly but also professional, and any questions I asked were responded to promptly. She followed up on outstanding items and kept me informed of updates as soon as they were available. I would highly recommend Jean to anyone looking for representation in an apartment purchase. Jean ensured my closing went smoothly and I would be happy to utilise her services again in the future.

Highly Recommend Jean Chou

Jean assisted me in my first ever large real estate closing for a condo. She really shepherded the process from soup-to-nuts. She was very informative and very responsive to my concerns whenever they arose. It was very apparent that Jean has done a lot of closings and her experience really shines t...hrough. Jean took ownership of the process and acted as a liason between all parties, including the brokers, buyers/sellers, and attorneys. I had to change closing dates multiple times due to travel conflicts and Jean was able to coordinate everything seamlessly. She also sent me all my closing documentation afterwards, excellent follow up. Extremely smooth and uneventful closing, thanks to Jean
