I recommend attorney Donald Strumpf very highly to anyone buying a house, especially first-time…read morebuyers like myself. I'm financially savvy in general, but at first I had no idea about how complicated the home-buying process would be and about the sheer number of disparate tasks that I would need an attorney's help with. At first, I naively thought that he would just draft the agreement of sale and that I could do everything else on my own. But Donald stepped into a chaotic situation and shepherded me through it, educating me a lot along the way and empowering me to make key decisions rather than forcing his opinions on me. He was a true partner and treated the whole process with the same level of attention and concern as if he were a co-buyer. My wife Diana and I were buying the house we were already renting, so no real estate agents were involved. Because there was no shopping process, I was able to save a lot of money by hiring a real estate attorney instead of a realtor. Donald did everything that a realtor would have done for me, and more. Worth every penny. He: - negotiated and drafted an agreement of sale. - guided me through the home inspection process and helped me decide which inspection results might be worth raising with the seller in order to get a price decrease. - kept the seller's attorney happy and well informed of our progress, so that the seller wouldn't get impatient and walk away from the sale. - evaluated the terms of my mortgage loan and suggested the areas where it might be worth negotiating better terms, such as the mortgage insurance premium. - explained all the closing costs and prepayments (e.g., annual real estate taxes) - helped me figure out how to do the transaction in the most tax-efficient way possible. - worked closely with the mortgage broker to get the right people's names on the title and the deed (we had a co-signer). - stayed on top of all deadlines (both external and self-imposed). I was working hard to keep up with him, not the other way around. He was constantly on the lookout for what could go wrong during settlement and/or what could delay the settlement date. - was careful not to let his bill get too high, despite the fact that my case turned out to be more complicated than he was led to believe at first. I would be happy to answer any questions you have about Donald. Contact me at AwadMike at gmail dot com or 215-713-9262. If you want your home purchase to be done right and with minimal hassle at a reasonable price, skip the realtor and hire Donald Strumpf as your attorney.

The settlement of the house was complicated because the owner bought the house from a foreclosure sale. Settlement was repeatedly postponed due to title issues. We obtained the services of Mr. Marc Jaffe to ensure our interests were protected. Mr Jaffe did a fantastic job. He was always available, very knowledgeable, and always had our interests in mind.
