Thomas Mathew McGovern

My husband and I hired Tom as our real estate attorney when buying our first home, and we are so grateful we did. From day one, he made us feel like family. He walked us through every legal step with patience and clarity, always putting our minds at ease and making sure we felt informed and supported.... Tom was incredibly responsive and took the time to answer all of our questions and concerns. Our closing was smooth and stress-free thanks entirely to his guidance. He is friendly, professional, and truly knows his stuff. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or purchasing or selling another home, Tom is the one to call.

Tom has helped my parents and myself with estate planning. He was amazing helping my parents, patiently answering all their questions and making them feel at ease. He did the same for myself and all aspects were addressed and handled with much attention to detail. Then recently I decided to sell my... house and I didn't consider hiring anyone other than Tom. He was incredible at guiding me through every step of the process. I cannot express enough how thorough, knowledgeable and helpful Tom is in handling these matters. He was there every step of the way and closing was a breeze thanks to his diligence. I will be buying a house upstate soon and there is no doubt Tom will be my attorney for that also. Thank you Tom. I call ya as soon as I'm ready to buy.

We found Thomas McGovern through very good friends while looking for a real estate attorney for a co-op we were putting an offer on in Queens. We called a few other recommendations from other people but automatically felt comfortable with choosing Tom due to his experience with co-ops and more impor...tantly, his friendly and efficient demeanor. He guided us through more than just the law side of the process. We were actually rejected from the co-op board without an interview. All the work that Tom had done for months was down the co-op tubes… he did not, for one second, make us feel like his time was wasted! He was disappointed for us and encouraged us back on our search. There were a few more offers made (and accepted) and contracts reviewed. We weren't in love with anything until we finally found our house on Long Island!! Tom was so patient as we went through a few places before actually going through with the purchase process again. The house we ended up buying had an offer or two ahead of ours that fell through due to missing paperwork on the seller’s side fore it being an estate. Tom reassured us that he had dealt with many estate scenarios and this missing paperwork was not a challenge for him or us. Something that was too complicated for the lawyers of offers ahead of ours—was no problem at all for Tom!! Throughout the process of finally buying our house, Tom guided, advised, revised, and reassured our side every step of the way. He certainly dotted every “i” and crossed every “t” to ensure the smooth transfer of title. Our closing was scheduled as soon as could be and ran without any hiccups at all—all honestly thanks to Tom. We invited him back to the house once it was officially ours to celebrate. It didn’t end there… Tom also recommended a great contractor when our previous had abandoned us the day before closing. He also periodically checked in on us along the way to see how the house was coming along and just to see how we were doing. Tom did what others couldn't and what others wouldn’t. I highly, highly, highly recommend Thomas McGovern as an Attorney!! As a real estate agent myself—I am constantly recommending him to all of my real estate network.

I used Thomas as my real estate attorney for the selling of my elderly fathers Co op apartment. Thomas eased my stress level regarding selling my dad's place, by answering any questions I or my sister had regarding the process. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional and a very nice guy. I wo...uld highly recommend him as an attorney to anyone I know.
