Dorothy Ruth Tischler

Firstly, thank you, Dorothy, for your incredible help throughout the purchase of our first home. My husband and I heard wonderful feedback from other clients who had previously enlisted Dorothy's services and we were not disappointed. Not only was Dorothy extremely detail-oriented when initially goin...g over the contract with us, she also went out of her way to truly protect us, explain anything we didn't understand, and saved us a LOT of money. When a large storm swept through the region the day before we were scheduled to close (and power was out at our new house), Dorothy arranged to have a generator power the needed office equipment at her office so we could still close on time (meanwhile, just down the street from Dorothy's office, a large tree had fallen and blocked off traffic). To still be treated as a priority - even in such extenuating circumstances - just added to our overall positive experience. Both Dorothy, and her amazing paralegal, Ken, were very responsive and always got back to us with answers to any of our many questions incredibly quickly. Everyone told us buying a house would be stressful, but we couldn't have had a smoother experience. I would absolutely recommend Dorothy and her team. Thank you!!

I am a client of Dorothy Tischler who has used her services since 2015 for home purchases and sales. Most recently, this fall of 2020, Ms. Tischler helped us sell out Niskayuna home as we moved to the Bay Area in California. As our legal counsel, my partner and I trusted her enough to give her power ...of attorney to sign and settle all matters for our home sale. She helped us navigate a complex septic issue we had to resolve as part of the sale. She excellently negotiated a very fair deal that cost us very little money to fix our home. It was a fantastic and professional experience that occurred on time, with great guidance about how to navigate such a complicated sale. We chose Dorothy because she did outstanding work for us when we bought our Niskayuna home in 2015. In our first search, a seller did not disclose over $10,000 in damages to the home until after the accepted offer and home inspection. Dorothy helped us get our full deposit back and search for a new home instead of getting trapped in a money pit. When we found our eventual home in Niskayuna, she made the process clear and easy. Her work and all her office team are extraordinarily professional. They made no errors in any parts of our purchases or sales, always gave us cogent advice on the process. She has also served my parents in a sale that went very well in Glenville. That is the lever of work she does; I recommend that my retired parents whom had only ever bought one home to use her. I recommend her services for any and all homebuyers who want a fair price, fantastic service, and outstanding results. Please call her office for my phone number if you want an in-person reference.

Dorothy was the best part of the process with purchasing my home. Anytime I phoned, she answered and provided me with sound advice that was impartial and balanced. In other words, she did not tell me what I wanted to hear, but rather what I needed to hear. This worked to my advantage as I was able to... make informed decisions and the right offer that saved approximately 20k that I reinvested in the home. Moreover, anytime I encountered concerns following the purchase of my home, she always made herself available and provided me with the appropriate resources, which worked out even though it did not benefit her. I really respect this person. She is also a no nonsense person who is great at protecting her client's interest; she certainly did mine.

Dorothy Tischler has been my real estate lawyer since 1994. She was with me every step of the way when I bought and sold property and transferred titles. In one particular instance she caught a trick by a buyer's attorney related to closing costs, which would have cost me money had she not found it.... Her knowledge of the real estate business is unsurpassed. She and her staff are very courteous and efficient, and they return phone calls! That's a rarity when dealing with attorneys. I recommended Dorothy to my sister and niece, and now they won't use any other real estate attorney as they also feel she's the best. I no longer live in the Albany area, but if I was to purchase property I would be sure to give Dorothy a call.
