Dorothy Ruth Tischler

I hired Dorothy from a recommendation from my former divorce attorney Joanne White, who is excellent in her own legal specialty. She was excellent throughout the period of the transaction but when the buyers used an out of town bank to purchase my home, the closing went sideways because the money wa...s not wired. But Dorothy protected us and did an excellent job to get information on where the funds where and followed through completely through the next day when we did receive our funds. Ken her paralegal assistant was very detailed oriented and I can see why he is invaluable asset to the Dorothy Tischler legal team.

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.

I cannot believe there are so many other positive reviews as my experience was very similar to the first poster from 2013. We retained Dorothy at the recommendation of our realtor (also probably a mistake). She had terrible communication; perhaps responded to one of the emails I sent out of many; n...ever answered or returned phone calls; when our mortgage loan originator finally called her with us in office, when we were basically at the finish line of closing, she responded, "Oh yes, that name sounds familiar." We had significant concerns on our sale, including the fact that the sellers were refusing to fill out the Property Condition Disclosure Statement. Most of it wasn't a huge deal, but I wanted to know if there had ever been a fire. Lo and behold - there had. As evidenced by the char marks we found upon final walk-through that were previously covered up. There were also unsettled issues of who would pay for what, and she assured us it would get handled in the closing. Except when it came time for closing, she told us it couldn't be changed. The whole thing was a nightmare and she was so unplugged. Our mortgage originator was really who ran the entire home sale.

We were first time home buyers so i spoke with several attorneys before we hired Dorothy Tischler and since i first spoke to her she gave us great advice without hesitation or without mentioning cost she was always professional and always answered all my questions very knowledgeable and honest repres...ention for us her team member Kenneth was prompt and always there during this epidemic they help us closed flawlessly

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.
