Jean L. Chou

As a first-time purchaser, I went to Jean for what seemed to be a simple real estate transaction for a co-op. Before I even made an offer, Jean took the time to walk me through the entire process and what I should expect, putting my mind at ease. From the time of my offer and through to the closing..., Jean was responsive and kept me apprised of things as they happened. We unfortunately experienced two delays outside of our control. First, a flood occurred in the unit prior to closing and Jean was immediately helpful in determining the best course of action and negotiating the remedy. Second, the seller's bank delayed due to missing bank documents, and Jean was on top of the next steps in moving the closing and minimizing the impact to my costs. What I initially thought was going to be a simple transaction got a little complicated and took a little longer and I was glad that I had Jean there to guide me along the way. I would highly recommend Jean to anyone looking for an *trustworthy* experienced attorney.

Jean represented me on a residential real estate purchase. There was a purchase/leaseback component which added some complexity to the transaction. Jean handled the entire transaction with a very high level of competence & professionalism. She was thorough in her research and patient with her exp...lanations of legal nuances and concepts. Most importantly, she was reliable, trusthworthy, and provided legal advice in a very well-considered, thoughtful manner. I work in financial services & have interacted with many attorneys through the course of my career. Jean would rank among the best of them.

I worked with Jean from the beginning to end of my buying process. She was instrumental in helping me understand the overall and specific process. A very patient lawyer throughout the past year. The 3rd was the charm and Jean stuck by me for all of it. She was closely engaged with my brokers as well.... This enabled us to be on the same page at all times. I would highly recommend using her and engaging her in any purchase as well as other legal matters.

My wife and I were referred to Jean nearly one year ago when we were purchasing our very first condo in New York. From the very outset she made the whole process very clear and simple to understand which was incredibly important and invaluable to us having never gone through the process before. She h...andled everything from the contracts, to dealing with the developer, the selling agent and developers legal team giving us regular feedback throughout the entire process. Ultimately the deal fell through following the developers decision to go rental. Jean very quickly and efficiently managed to get our initial deposit back and is now working with us to purchase another Condo, a process which Im pleased to say is going much smoother than our first attempt to get on the property ladder. I highly recommend Jean for anyone purchasing a property in New York, she is undoubtedly one of a kind and will to continue to turn to her for any future property deals. Its a great feeling to work with someone who is so personable as well as professional, two refreshingly key ingredients in such a dog eat dog property market.
