If you're smart, you'd hire Ted

Ted was so helpful throughout the whole process of selling our apartment and buying our home in Brooklyn. He and his team were so thoughtful and patient. They explained complex details in ways we could understand, and I would recommend him time and time again.

Best real estate attorney

Mr. Cotter and his staff provided me with exceptional service with my purchase of an apartment in NYC. It was somewhat complicated because I live out of state, and also I was totally unfamiliar with the intricacies of NYC real estate purchases. I could not have asked for better assistance and highl...y recommend them.

Very happy

We were looking for an attorney for the sale of our home. Ted Cotter was recommended to us by a family friend. We were very pleased from start to finish. Ted addressed all my concerns in a timely manner and we didn't have any worries or surprises. Excellent service.

Talented and Professional Real Estate Attorney

We were incredibly lucky to have Ted and his team's help with the purchase of our apartment in NYC. It was our first time purchasing property in NY, and Ted and Christine were exceptional at helping us every step of the way. Ted was clutch in our closing to resolve an issue were the seller had not pr...ovided ample information, and he was always available to answer questions. It was a pleasure working with Ted and his team, and we would use his services again for all future needs.

Great Experience

I had an excellent experience with Ted Cotter and all of the supporting staff at DiVernieri, DiVernieri & Cotter while purchasing a house in Maspeth, Queens during the summer of 2023. They provided assistance at each stage of the process and made themselves available whenever I had questions. Ted and... team conducted themselves consistently with professionalism and promptness. In particular, the team excelled with document review. As a first time home-buyer, I was concerned with grasping the breadth of paperwork, nuances of compliance, and financial terminology, but the team walked me through the materials until I was confident. This team has an extensive understanding of NYC real estate and contextualized my purchase within sale trends and regional value. I definitely endorse this team.
