Jean L. Chou

Jean is a knowledgeable , resourceful professional who is very responsive to her clients. She closed the real estate deal for us while we were overseas and could not be there for our closing. She is very prompt and courteous and keeps you informed at all times. We look forward to doing b...usiness with her again and would highly recommend her to our family and friends.

As a first-time home buyer, I had no clue what actually needed to happen going into the process - and that was fine because Jean knew everything and was able to quickly provide summaries/timelines/excellent advice on every aspect of the transaction. She was on top of all of the paperwork, all of the... deadlines, every last detail. Incredibly professional, and was always reachable for any question a first-time home buyer would have. All of her explanations of process and documents were thorough. Would highly recommend and work with Jean again.

Jean is an extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, and professional real estate lawyer in New York City. Jean worked with us on a condo purchase in lower Manhattan, and she was very helpful to us from sign to close. Along the way, she explained the details and implications of every nuance of every docum...ent or ancillary consideration we had to sign and/or otherwise review. I don't know how much time it took her to go through all of it, but she debriefed us over the course of an hour in an afternoon to get us up to speed with everything we needed to know. In total, the whole process for us took just over a month, and actually turned out to be relatively simple and straightforward (which is not commonly heard in NYC given all the potential "pitfalls" in NYC real estate); we attribute a large part of this to Jean's guidance. Beyond all this, she was eerily patient with us - as first-time homebuyers - through the entire experience. In addition to her "primary" responsibilities as our lawyer, she took the time to speak through all of our concerns/questions related to the purchase and offer perspective on what our options were for each of them. Jean was always accessible and resourceful, never pushy, and always looked to take our best interests into consideration. Highly recommended, especially for fellow first-time homebuyers.

I first worked with Ms. Chou a few years ago when she assisted me in my purchase of a NYC co-op as a first time apartment buyer and this time worked with her in the selling of my home on Long Island. Ms. Chou was smart, insightful and helpful throughout the process and I trusted her to give me good a...dvice as a first time seller. Even under pressure at the closing Ms. Chou was calm, tactful, strategic and instrumental in getting the final deal done. I absolutely recommend Ms. Chou and certainly hope to work with her again in the future.
