The Best in the Business!

I am a first time home buyer and Renee held my hand during the entire process. She explained the process to me during our first consultation and then was there for every phone call and email I sent after that! She is extremely responsive and works quickly and efficiently to get you the answers you ne...ed from all parties- the lender, other parties' attorneys, title company, etc. She went above and beyond advocating for us and got us the best deal on closing. I will definitely work with her in the future when it comes time to resell and buy a new home. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone who knows real estate like the back of their hand and wants their life to be easier during their real estate transaction. Thanks Renee!

Property closing

Renee has been great to work with to ensure our property closed on time and quickly. Her response time to email requests are almost immediate if not, a response is given on the same day. During our closing, Renee explained in detail all of the documents you are signing(or not) and never rushes her e...xplanations.

Great Legal Representative for Real Estate Transactions

Renee Kalman represented me in an investment property real estate sales transaction. I live out of state so it was important to find an attorney who would pay close attention to the transaction. She thoroughly reviewed documents and diligently made sure the information was correct. She was always av...ailable for questions and was quick to respond with an answer. She was able to address any issues that came up. She was pleasant and easy to work with and extremely organized. I would highly recommend her and I thank her for the super job she did.

Property closing

Renee is outstanding lawyer. She was extremely helpful during the closing process. She made sure all paper work was completed before the closing date. Renee explained all the paper work at the closing and her friendly relaxing attitude made the closing simple. We would recommend Renee to family a...nd friends.

Highly Recommend

I closed on my condo in October and I am still in a state of extreme admiration for all of the attention Renee gave me from beginning to end. Renee treated me like I was a million dollar client - going above and beyond to ensure that as an out of state home buyer, my best interests were kept at the... forefront of every conversation whether I was present or not. Being in a different time zone never affected her ability to communicate with me on a daily basis and she was always willing to work with me outside of normal business hours. Renee acted not just as my attorney but as a representative for my future investments.
