I cannot more highly recommend Josh Bogaty and his firm for Long Island real estate transactions. I am myself a lawyer, but do not handle real estate transactions. I was looking for experienced real estate counsel to handle the simultaneous sale of and purchase of residential real estate, a stressful situation that's like trying to thread a needle, with a lot of potential pitfalls. Josh came recommended from a colleague and I'm very glad we found him to advise us in the process.
From our very first phone call through closing on our second transaction, Josh was simply outstanding. He is extremely knowledgable, thorough and highly responsive. We encountered several unanticipated issues throughout the process that could have been disastrous, but with Josh's expert counsel, they ended up just being speed bumps in the rear view mirror on the way to our final destination.
I truly cannot more highly recommend Josh Bogaty for Long Island real estate transactions and would not hesitate to send my own clients or family members to him.
We have used josh for selling and buying houses. He is 110% the best RE attorney I never seen. Lots of my friend says RE attorney don’t do anything, I told them that they didn’t get lucky to find a good one. Good attorney could make deals but bad one destroys all relationships. Josh is very punctual,detail oriented and knowledgeable. Looking no more, he is the best.

Couldn't ask for a more professional and knowledgable attorney
Mr. Bogaty assisted with our first home purchase and was truly helpful. He explained every aspect of our deal and fought to make sure we had the most favorable terms. He is very through, efficient and well organized. JOSH DOES NOT BS, and tells you how it is while helping you navigate. In the cutthroat RE market of NYC, having Josh, and his team, on our side made gave us a huge advantage. Until Josh retires I'll continue to recommend him to anyone dealing in real estate.

BEST ATTORNEY ON LI
As a first time home buyer i had a lot of questions and concerns and Mr. Bogaty answered them in great detail. He was always available and his paralegal was also very helpful. At the closing he took his time to explain all of the closing documents and closing costs. I will definitely recommend him to all of my friends family.

Saved me $2500
Mr Bogaty represented me when I purchased my first home. He did a great job getting favorable terms incorporated in to my contract and he kept me informed the entire time. He didn't just take care of everything, he also explained exactly what the contract was saying in plain english. The icing on the cake was when he discovered two discrepancies with the money the lender was giving me at closing. There was $2500 in mistakes by the bank's attorney. He saved me all that money that the $850 attorney I almost used would have missed. He gave me his cell phone number at our first meeting and always texted and emailed me. Mr Bogaty is the best!

First time homebuyer
As a first time homebuyer, the process can be very overwhelming. However, Josh was a great source of information and guided me through it. He stayed on top of things and during my closing he found a discrepancy and I walked away with money back in my pocket. I look forward to working with him again, when I decide to refinance.

Real estate transaction
We found Josh to be very professional, knowledgeable, responsive and supportive. We were not very familiar with various steps needed to be taken; Josh patiently explained us and did a thorough due diligence re property title dead, taxes, escrow, inspection, etc. and represented us well. We plan to use his services in future and also recommend him.

Joshua Bogarty
Highly organized, very responsive to the point of making himself available virtually at all times, knowledgeable and able to research and verify uncertain matters within the time frame stipulated, responsive to changes, supportive and facilitating- everything anyone could expect or want in an attorney. We have used his firm both for real estate and for establishing Trusts. We would not hesitate to use his services or that of his firm again. Very highly recommended.

Real Estate transaction
My closing took place on time and with all papers needed ready to sign. There were no delays or issues regarding taxes, title, bank playoffs, escrow, or other matters that can become a problem during a closing. The transaction took about 30 minutes and I was completely satisfied.

Attorney Joshua Bogaty
I have been a real estate client of Mr. Bogaty for close to 4 years. In that period he has handled numerous contracts and closings, some becoming very complicated. He has proven to be through and conscientious, as well as extremely effective in these dealings. I have always been kept well informed throughout the process, and he is a adept at always looking out for my best interests. I highly recommend Mr. Bogaty, and his firm.

Purchased and Sold
Josh represented me on the purchase of my second home in Long Island. I was concerned because the attorney we hired when we bought our first home was terrible. Josh kept us informed and was highly knowledgeable. He even diffused an issue at closing to our benefit.

"I endorse and strongly recommend Josh. I do a fair amount of foreclosure defense work and there isn't anyone else I send short sale transaction work.
