Joyce Marilyn Goldstein

We had a pleasant experience working with Joyce. She has decades of experience as a real estate attorney and that was clear from our first meeting we had with her. She is very patient and spent time breaking down the intricacies, terms and legal jargon of the multiple contracts and documents that wer...e being sent our way. We appreciate her careful attention to detail. She is a fervent advocate for her clients. When we had any questions or doubts about something, she was persistent and tracked down the answers. She is communicative and responds promptly. We knew our home purchase was in good hands when we chose her to be our attorney.

In the spring of 2018, we decided to put our condo in Windsor Terrace on the market because we wanted to move from an apartment to a house. After listing our unit with a good friend, we began looking at homes in Tarrytown. Realizing that we were not in the right market, we followed the advice of an...other friend and started looking in Maplewood, NJ where we found our dreamy craftsman on a block with congenial neighbors. The process of selling and buying can be quite an arduous one. It helps when the people helping to navigate you through it are knowledgeable, tenacious, and friendly. Joyce Goldstein was the perfect embodiment of all three of these things during the time she represented us as we sold our condo in Brooklyn and bought our house in Essex county. Ms. Goldstein patiently explained the differences between closing in New York versus New Jersey. She knew about the neighborhood and even the street we were moving to. Plus, when it came time to light a fire under our buyers, who were needlessly prolonging the closing, Joyce quickly addressed the situation so that we could move forward with our purchase. Now that we’re in our new home, we plan to retain her for our estate planning. She’s become someone who we respect and trust. She’s become our friend.

Joyce may not be the fastest or the most organized real estate attorney out there but she is by far the most hardworking, personable and trustworthy. During our hunt for a new home, she worked tirelessly (even when she was on vacation) and was always reachable. We knew she had our interests in mind f...rom day one to the day of the closing and she was very thorough with the details/numbers. I would recommend her for every buyer who needs help navigating the NY real estate scene with a peace of mind.

Joyce was referred to me by another attorney(now retired). She has handled three transactions for me, the sale of my condo and subsequent purchases of two other apartments. She is not only extremely knowledgeable, but thorough in explaining everything. She is witty and always set others at ease. ... In all three closings, I have witnessed her reminding the other attorneys of what needed to be done, confirming that she is a seasoned and well experienced attorney. I have full confidence in her and recommend her highly.
