Wexler & Kaufman, PLLC

Brett represented us on our recent condo purchase in NYC and was outstanding throughout the entire process. What stood out most was how available and responsive he was. He consistently answered emails quickly, made time for calls when we needed clarification, and took the time to explain details in plain English so we fully understood what we were signing and what our options were. The transaction itself had its challenges, particularly on the seller’s side where the broker was non responsive and difficult to deal with, which created unnecessary friction. Brett stayed steady and proactive, helping us navigate those complications. At closing, he got us money in escrow that we needed to protect us when heating issues surfaced at final walk through. When it became clear the system wasn’t functioning properly upon move in, he helped us reach a solution that resulted in payment from the seller toward a full HVAC replacement. What could have turned into a complete nightmare if we listened to the seller's broker was handled efficiently, and we ultimately resolved it with a complete system replacement rather than a patchwork fix. We always felt protected and well advised. I would absolutely recommend Brett to anyone purchasing property in NYC and would use him again without hesitation.

Brett was recommended to me by my real estate broker, and I ended up working with him across three transactions: two property sales in Brooklyn and Queens during my divorce, and then the closing on my current Manhattan purchase. That kind of repeat business doesn’t happen by accident. Brett is easygoing but deeply knowledgeable, and he genuinely fights for you. He was thorough in explaining contracts, handled everything so smoothly that I didn’t even need to attend the closings, and his familiarity with buildings across Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn, especially in more gentrified areas, is something you can’t put a price on. On top of all that, I’ve emailed him on a Sunday night and heard back within minutes. If you’re buying or selling real estate in New York City, he’s one of the best real estate attorneys you can work with.

​Marc at Wexler and Kaufman real estate law firm closed two properties for us, one in New York City and one in Sag Harbor, Long Island. He did a great job and was always responsive and professional.

Being responsive is key, especially when you’re trying to close on a house. He exceeded our expectations and handled all the legal aspects of the transaction smoothly.

I'm a real estate agent in New York, and I've worked on a number of deals with Brett at Wexler and Kaufman. Our most recent transaction was one of the most challenging yet, stretching almost 6 months long and full of unusual hurdles. Brett was great to collaborate with - we stayed in close communication throughout the process and focused on solutions to keep the deal moving forward.

He is responsive, organized, and proactive, always looking for solutions that move the deal to the finish line. Brett’s approach feels like a partnership. He doesn’t just appear to deal with the legal paperwork and disappear. His demeanor is friendly, and his guidance is practical.

We’ve worked with Brett at Wexler & Kaufman as our real estate attorney in New York City twice, and both experiences have been excellent. The first was during COVID when we bought our home, and even though everything was done virtually, Brett was extremely responsive to emails and texts, provided clear answers right away, and made the closing process smooth from start to finish. Most recently, he represented us in selling our apartment and purchasing a new home in NYC, and once again he came through for us every time it mattered. Brett explained the entire process, reviewed due diligence documents, and handled every detail with professionalism. When an issue came up at the final walkthrough, he resolved it within hours, keeping the transaction stress-free. His office is organized, efficient, and convenient, and we’d highly recommend Brett at Wexler & Kaufman to anyone looking for a top real estate lawyer in NYC who can make buying or selling a home seamless.
