Real Estate and Tax Certiorari
At the Poughkeepsie law firm of Corbally, Gartland and Rappleyea, LLP, we handle cases involving commercial and residential real estate and tax certiorari.
Real estate
In real estate, closing the deal is crucial. We understand that. After more than a century of real estate dealings throughout the Hudson Valley region and New York State, we have completed thousands of successful residential and commercial closings. We know what it takes to protect your best interests and we do so aggressively. We are always thoroughly prepared, and our knowledge of the region as well as our breadth of experience in real estate law make us uniquely qualified to represent buyers, sellers and lenders in commercial and residential real estate matters.
Our current clients range from national and regional entities — including the area's most prominent banking institutions, businesses, organizations and municipalities — to regular, everyday people who are buying or selling a home here in the Hudson Valley.
We regularly handle all aspects of residential and commercial real estate:
-
Residential — Buying, selling or refinancing your home can be exciting, but it can also be stressful. We work closely with our residential real estate clients to mitigate that stress by guiding you through the process and answering your questions every step of the way. And we do it all for a reasonable fee. Our years of experience enable us to advise you clearly and knowledgeably so you can be sure you are making the decisions that are in your best interests. Additionally, the rapport we have developed with real estate and mortgage professionals throughout the area helps us quickly resolve any issues that may arise and keep us moving smoothly toward our clients' goals.
-
Commercial — Michael G. Gartland, the senior partner in our real estate department, is a recognized expert in all aspects of New York commercial real estate 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 and exchange. National and regional lending institutions, developers, business owners and investors have all come to rely on our counsel and services. We also represent non-traditional lenders (regulated and non-regulated) in loan transactions.
Property tax and assessment (tax certiorari)
Real estate tax certiorari is the legal process by which a residential or commercial property owner challenges the real estate tax assessment of a property to reduce its assessment, resulting in lower real estate taxes.
Corbally, Gartland and Rappleyea, LLP represents both property owners and municipalities in real property tax assessment challenges and exemption matters. Representative clients include residential property owners as well as owners of commercial properties such as office buildings, factories, warehouses, retail stores, restaurants, shopping centers, hotels, hospitals and a major educational institution.
We are familiar with the stringent deadlines and procedures which must be followed in order to preserve our clients' claims. We advocate for our clients throughout the entire process, commencing with the filing of a grievance complaint, to appearances before the Board of Assessment Review, the filing of a petition, negotiations, at trial and on appeal.
