Closing with Confidence NY

Always know where your closing stands.

I built Closing with Confidence NY, a closing portal for New York residential deals, and my real estate clients use it on every closing. You, your broker, the title company and your lender work from one live tracker and one deal file, so nobody has to wonder where things stand.

  • Live trackerContract, clearance, closing and post-closing, updated as your deal moves.

  • Messages your wayUpdates reach you by text, email or the app, whichever you prefer.

Business formation

What forming a New York LLC actually involves.

Filing the paperwork is the easy part. New York adds an operating agreement deadline and a publication requirement that trips up a lot of do-it-yourself filers. I handle all four steps.

1

Articles of Organization

Filed with the New York Department of State. The state filing fee is $200.

Day one
2

EIN

Your federal tax ID from the IRS, needed to open a business bank account and hire.

Same week
3

Operating Agreement

New York requires a written agreement among the members. I draft it around how you actually plan to run the business.

Within 90 days
4

Publication

A notice runs for six weeks in two newspapers chosen by the county clerk, then a Certificate of Publication is filed. Skip it and the LLC's authority to do business is suspended.

Within 120 days

Publication costs vary widely by county, and New York City is among the most expensive. I find out where yours lands and include it in your quote, so there are no surprises later.

About Pete

Law is my second career, and I chose it on purpose.

In my twenties I owned and ran a mobile personal training business on Long Island. I know what it takes to start something, keep it going and answer to the people who rely on you.

That's the attitude I bring to legal work. I got into law because I like helping people through the moments that matter: buying a first home, starting a company, or getting a board through a difficult vote. Clients tell me I explain the details plainly and that I answer quickly. Both are on purpose.

I also think creatively about problems. When the usual path won't work, I look for one that will. Outside the office I'm a musician. I write, play and record my own music, and I treat a closing a lot like a recording session: every part has to land at the right moment.
