REAL ESTATE

With thousands of successful closings to our credit and over a century of experience in New York and local real estate, our Hudson Valley practice is second to none. We will protect your interests, whether handling your mortgage, representing you as lender, guiding building and development projects, or advising you in any other aspect of real estate law. Our attorneys currently represent national and regional entities, including the area’s most prominent banking institutions, businesses, organizations and municipalities. Of course, we also represent the everyday people who wish to buy or sell a home in one of the country's most scenic regions.

Our real estate practice is comprised of several areas, each one expertly managed by lead attorneys, paralegals and professional staff.

Our firm pays personal attention to the needs of home buyers and homeowners, always at a reasonable fee. Whether you’re purchasing your first home, trading up, refinancing or relocating, we will provide the guidance and service you need to make the right decisions. The relationships and credibility we’ve developed over the years with real estate and mortgage professionals and other counsel allows us to cut through problems and assures that more deals get closed to our clients’ satisfaction.

Michael G. Gartland, senior partner in our Real Estate Department, is a recognized expert in all aspects of New York transactions including purchases, sales, leases, loans, workouts and turnarounds for office, retail, industrial, planned community and undeveloped property. Our entire team works closely with clients and effectively uses technology for communication and document preparation/exchange. National and regional lending institutions, developers, business owners and investors have all come to rely on our counsel and services. We also represent nontraditional lenders (regulated and non-regulated) in loan transactions and can advise out-of-state firms and corporate legal departments on regional and local real estate issues.

Numerous clients have witnessed our skill in gaining approval for and assisting the development of major residential subdivisions, office buildings, shopping malls, hotels, hospitals and universities throughout the Hudson Valley region. We negotiate the maze of land use hearings, including planning and zoning, conservation commission, wetlands, environmental boards, and zoning board of appeals with an efficiency that keeps projects on time and under budget. We have also participated in a number of environmentally significant cases concerning hazardous waste, wetland and water quality issues.

Our success owes to our deep commitment and ties to our community. During our century plus history, CORBALLY, GARTLAND and RAPPLEYEA, LLP has represented many of the towns, villages, school districts and other municipal entities located in the greater Hudson Valley region.

The Firm also regularly serves as counsel to the area's commercial construction industry, representing major Hudson Valley contractors and design professionals, as well as serving as local counsel for national construction firms.
