Brian Michael Tracz

I recently sold my studio with Brian as my attorney He and his team at Forest Hills were very professional and thorough in their work. After they discovered there was a lien on the property from a previous owner that had been overlooked, they conducted an investigation and did everything they could t...o make sure the issue was resolved in time for closing. Brian’s assistant Donna was so helpful during the closing and ensured that the whole process was completed as seamlessly as possible.

Brian and his staff went "above and beyond" in a very complicated case and brought it to a successful conclusion in a timely manner. My family and I were selling a home that had been in our family for about 80 years, but had been neglected for the last 25 years. Brian showed great professional expert...ise from prior to our listing the property to the conclusion of the closing. He was available to advise us throughout the entire experience and answered our many questions in the absence of a realtor. He came up with ingenious solutions to resolve last-minute problems that could have sunk the deal. He was very patient and understanding in dealing with the elderly members of our family. During the closing, he took the time to explain each document to all of us and showed concern for our physical comfort. He kept the closing process moving and had it wrapped up in a very reasonable amount of time. He has great energy and a very pleasant disposition, even maintaining a sense of humor throughout a sometimes stressful process. My family members will definitely be using him again.

Brian absolutely knows his stuff and watching him at work is quite impressive. We pretty much stepped back and let him do what he needed to do. And whenever we had questions, he was quick to respond. He handled our probate and the selling of the property with very little to no issues. His relatio...nships and connections to the courts, realtors and other lawyers was/is helpful.

Our family decided to sell our home of over 40 years. We had many issues to overcome. Our family hired Brian M. Tracz, Esq. to help us with the sale of our home. Attorney Tracz and his staff went above and beyond the call to help untangle an ancient work permit, issues concerning heirship and a h...ost of annoying little problems. Had it not been for the expext work performed by Brian Tracz, Esq., we probably would not have been able to complete the successful sale of our family’s home.

Brian was recommended to me by my real estate agent who also happens to be one of my oldest friends who has a lot of experience working with him. I don't think of myself as a very easy client and am certainly pretty cautious when it comes to both financial and legal interactions. All that said, put s...imply, Brian was a fantastic recommendation. Brian: super experienced, no-nonsense, totally on my side, great counsel with a very human approach, and just a nice guy. There's a lot to a real estate transaction that is pro-forma, and Brian was great on that table-stakes level. But what truly differentiated him for me was the above-and-beyond way he worked with me on the purchase. From taking the time to patiently walk through, explain in layman's terms and answer a bunch of my dumb questions about the different elements of the contract and rider - which can be very confusing to a first-time buyer like me; to not hesitating to share his professional perspective on different options and choices we faced; to his going way out of his way to counsel me on a non-purchase-related real estate issue with an apartment I'd been renting that came up during the contracting process that was truly the definition of him going above and beyond; to his ability to identify, research and obtain $6K+ additional closing cost savings that nobody else saw at the closing; the service he provided throughout the purchase experience was nothing short of exceptional. Brian's team: friendly, professional, responsive. Paulette and her colleagues were equally great to work with, performing what can be somewhat rote tasks with professionalism and humor. Good people gather good people around them and Brian has done just that. Brian's network: As a true professional Brian has developed a network of contacts in adjacent industries and doesn't hesitate to recommend people he knows and trusts for things like, in my case, condo insurance. While the first thing one looks for in a real estate attorney is the ability to get the contract and closing done, their real value is in all the other elements that can make the experience a great one, as in my case, or not. Things like always knowing who to connect you to for questions or services he doesn't provide himself is another differentiater that Brian brings in spades. If not obvious from the above, I could not recommend Brian more highly to anyone in need of a real estate attorney.
