Excellent Experience from First Time Home Buyer

I would absolutely recommend Jonathan as a real estate attorney. As a first time buyer, my real estate experience is limited. However, Jonathan came highly recommended from several other advisors and lived up to his reputation. He was responsive, professional and proactive leading to a seamless ...process up to and including closing. He took care of details, was always early and kept clear lines of communication. Comparing this with the others I encountered while both searching for legal representation and working with attorneys on the opposite side of the table, Jonathan certainly stood out and validated the decision to work with him.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

SUMMARY: Highly recommended law office and owner (Jonathan Aven), extremely reasonable pricing, high integrity and ethics, personal and outstanding service, someone who is working on your side giving 110% effort. I rate the service and experience with 5 stars. I used to always have negative impressio...ns of lawyers until I hired Jonathan to represent me with my condo purchase. I highly recommend Jonathan to ANYONE who is looking to work with one of the most professional and best people in the business, and I look forward to working with him in the future. I searched long and hard to find a good legal practice that had a specialization in real estate (specific to condo closings). After finding my top 10, Jonathan Aven’s law practice (and reviews) stood out as my top choice. I called Jonathan to inquire about his services; I received a call within 20 minutes. Jonathan was always available or would always return my calls within 12 hours. I had a confident feeling that he would give 110% of his time and effort to ensure that all my legal concerns and questions would be answered to my satisfaction and he ensured to get me to a win/win situation with my legal services. Understanding legal jargon is not an easy task but Jonathan’s ability to break it down into understandable terms really helped my understanding of legal requirements and made me appreciate the skill and knowledge. Jonathan did an amazing job of asking what I was seeking, clearly defined the expectations, and explained what was required from beginning until end. I felt like he was on my side the entire process and he did everything in his power to ensure that the deal was a great success. Jonathan helped me close on my condo in 35 days. I didn’t think that was even possible to today’s environment. He worked well with all the related parties and always has a positive and win/win attitude. Jonathan was on top of the process from beginning until end. Any time I called Jonathan he was always available or would return my calls in less than one day. He is always available on email and responds right away. I know that my deal closed so quickly and successfully because of Jonathan. His communication was outstanding, and weekly status updates reduced my stress and anxiety. Jonathan’s level of service far exceeded my expectations and blew my previous condo experience out of the water. Thanks for a job well done, Jonathan, and I look forward to your services in the future.

A responsive, fair, helpful real estate lawyer

Mr. Aven was professional, personable, and thorough when he represented me during a home purchase. He was also unfazed when my first three contracts fell through and dragged out the process for more than nine months. In light of that, I think his charges were especially fair. Finally, he spoke plain ...English: no legalese and no condescension. It's a great pleasure to wholeheartedly recommend a lawyer. I've never been able to do that before.

Life Saver

Just sold my house and Jonathan was my lawyer. He kept me up to date, was quick and efficient and was able to answer all my questions in easy to understand terms. He went beyond the call of duty and picked up the slack of my agent. Highly recomment him!

Highly Recommend!

Jonathan was recommended to me from a friend who used him previously when buying her home. I used Jonathan to purchase my new condo which was new construction. Jonathan was fantastic w/ his communication and explaining all the details that go along w/ buying a new construction property. He worked dil...igently w/ the developers attorneys to ensure everything that was promised from the developer was delivered. Jonathan was very pleasant to work with and was very patient and detailed when walking through all the documentation at closing. I would recommend Jonathan to any one of my friends purchasing a new home.
