Meticulous and Fast!
Glenn Busch handled the sale of my condo in NYC. He went above and beyond to be helpful during the entire process and even helped me 2 years later with the State of NY and my refund due. He answered my numerous phone calls and stayed with me through the entire process of getting my refund from the State..which took months. I highly recommend Glenn!!

Buying and Selling Property in New York City
My husband and I hired Glenn Busch to represent us both in the purchase of our New York City cooperative apartment in 2014 and its sale in 2023. He handled everything — including the quirks of co-op transactions — very well, the communication was excellent, and everything went smoothly.
Response from Glenn Busch June 24, 2023
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your review about working with our firm on your Cooperative real estate closings in New York. I truly appreciate your kind words and am glad we were able to assist in the purchase and then the sale.

Positive Relationship
I live in California and needed help with the small estate of my deceased adult son who had lived in New York. Glenn and Calli took care of all the dealings with the surrogate court and successfully got me the documents I needed. My phone and e-mail communications were always courteous and friendly - and answered my questions.....very comfortable to work with. My only regret was that I could never meet these 2 nice people in person. I would hire Glenn again and recommend his office. Virginia Konzelman

Dental Practice Sale
Glenn Busch did an excellent job for me in my pursuit of selling my practice. His work was thorough and complete. I especially appreciated Glenn when he routinely responded promptly to my inquiries and managed to expedite matters when timing was crucial. His negotiation skills secured for me a better deal with my landlord than I had expected. I would use his services again without any hesitation.

Saved my retirement
Glenn Busch accomplished a number of excellent services for me, real estate and estate planning. When it came to selling my dental practice Covid-19 kill d my deal. The office was closed and prospects dried up. I was ready to throw in the towel but Glenn didn’t give up. He persued one potential buyer and put the deal together we could all be happy with. I got a lot of money for my practice and am now happily retired thanks to Glenn.

Glenn Busch Review
Glenn has helped me more than once with estate planning and various real estate legal issues. Most recently he help me close on the sale of my NYC apartment during the Covid 19 crisis. I can't say enough positive things about his ability to remain cool in stressful situations. He has a natural ability to see through nonsense and get to the meat of an issue. Glenn has very strong leadership skills combined with a wealth of experience in his field. This is a go to guy for estate planning and real estate issues.

A wonderful attorney whose become a wonderful friend
I had the upmost pleasure of meeting Glenn back in 2008 when he helped me purchase my business. Since then, he's been my legal council for real estate purchases, law suits, wills and other issues. He's always there for you and works hard for his clients. Never gave me bad advice and consider him a dear friend.

Persistent
Our closing ran into a lot of trouble, but Glenn stuck with it. He never tried to increase the amount he was charging because of the extra work.

Experienced and Trustworthy Real Estate Lawyer
Glenn represented me selling my Manhattan condominium. I recommend Glenn because he is very experienced and a decent person. Selling real estate in New York City is very complicated and Glenn has the experience to deal with all of the little hiccups along the way. I also found him trustworthy and reliable, which is highly important in these transactions. Glenn explained all of his costs up front and stuck to them. I highly recommend Glenn for this type of transaction.

beyond the call
Glenn represented me in a sale of a property 15 years ago. When I was selling another property (with a different lawyer) and some issues came up about the earlier sale, Glenn went above and beyond the call of duty to help out, even though he was no longer representing me, and the sale had been so long ago. I should have hired him again for the second sale! He was responsive and dogged.

Very Happy with Glenn
My family and I worked with Glenn on our real estate holdings and our estate plan. Glenn assisted in a 1031 Exchange and then was outstanding in creating our family estate plan. He goes the extra mile.
