Steve Lunes represented us in the sale of our coop apartment. He is thoughtful, responsive and always two steps ahead of any issue that might arise. We never had to chase him for a response and he moved the process along swiftly. His staff is just as responsive. He is an excellent communicator and will hand hold you through the process whether you are a veteran to real estate transactions or a first timer. I cannot recommend him enough. He is excellent and trustworthy. read more

Steve came highly recommended to us by our brokers from the Real Market team.  They worked on many deals with him. We worked with Steve Leunes to sell our home and he was wonderful to work with.   He was very professional, responsive and did a great job of explaining things to us.   Highly recommend him. read more

My first time home purchase. You know how it feels like: little nervous, excited, worried, skeptical and so much more. The most important thing is: to find an Attorney, the good one, who would work for you, guide you through and stay by your side at all times. That's right. I finally found Steve thru some recommendations and contacted him if he was available to help me. When we even had not met in person (mostly emails and a couple of telephone communication), I knew the exact professional I was deemed looking for. Steve is a man of immense technical ideas that are biting and quite confusing otherwise. I found him 24/7 ready to listen to you, guide you thru and help you understand anything that arises (mostly before I even know what was coming, Steve was there to alert me, warn me and correct me to move ahead) taking any milages possible to save me from all the troubles on the course of buying new home. One superseded mistake or stubbornness and a huge risk of even losing the deposit (a pretty hard earned money may evaporate on a single technical mistake made). I came to understand that Steve takes all your worries and keeps you in peace so that you can sleep well until the day of closing. Isn't this surprising to tell you that I only met him in person for the first time during the entire course of over a three month period and that was the day of closing. People would like to meet with their attorney many times because of many issues or confusions. But with Steve, you may save ton of time. One of the most interesting part of Steve and his team is that all of them are proactive in communication. In matter of moments you have answers to your concerns, queries and questions. No matter whether there will be hundreds of email messages, but you will get answer to each of them in a flash of time. Even during after hours, Steve was there to address my queries quite sufficiently. I may not have to buy several houses in life but if I do, I would even not think of any other attorney but Steve. You hardly come in contact of some extraordinarily versed personality who is polite, adequate and proactive to not only help you but also save you every course, turns and twists of buying a house. My personal expression with Steve and his team is phenomenal. Even though I have thanked him in person, I can't help thanking him enough so I would take this opportunity to publicly say: thank you Steve! You are the only hero attorney for my family and will remain such forever! read more

Exceptional and professional service from the start to end. I must say , integrity!!! Steve handled my case very professionally, made it easier to understand real estate legal protocols. He worked me like a family , always answered my calls. read more

Steve was great to work with through the whole process of purchasing our first coop apartment. He was really helpful and generously gave great advice over the phone as we were going through the entire real estate bidding and research process. Steve's knowledge made us confident enough to go through this experience without a real estate broker. Throughout our buying journey he was very responsive and available for all questions. Toward the end we almost didn't make our closing date but Steve was able to pull the reigns and get the problem solved. We would highly recommend him! read more

We utilized Steve to sell our coop and purchase our house. He was fantastic from start to finish. He organized everything for us, and took time to explain everything we were signing (which was a lot). He and his office were always quick to respond to any of our numerous questions throughout both transactions. His fee was more than reasonable for the time spent. We will absolutely use him if we have any more real estate needs (though, hopefully that won't be for a bit). read more

Steve helped me sell my house, which became quite complex and required multiple escrows. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and friendly throughout the process. At first, I was turned off by his casual emails, but soon it didn't bother me since he was clearly on top of all the details. His flat fee was reasonable, especially since he was generous with advice and resources (such as a 1031 exchange expert) when I requested them. I will hire Steve if I ever buy or sell in NY again. read more

Worked with Steve when we purchased our NYC co-op and again eight years later when we sold it. Highly professional, responsive, and reasonably priced. His assistant, Ananti, keeps everything running smoothly throughout the process. Highly recommend. read more

I can not recommend Steve enough! He helped us with two contracts, one of which fell through (he had advised us against that one from the start and he was right) and the other we just closed on today. He is thorough, incredibly responsive, professional, reassuring and very personable. He came highly recommended to us by more than one source for our real estate transactions and we couldn't have been more pleased. Thank you, Steve! read more

Steve was our real estate attorney for our first Co-Op purchase earlier this year. He was referred by a friend who purchased a Co-Op 2 years prior, and we called him right away after we agreed on a sale price. He was professional, thorough, honest, and made us feel comfortable with the process. He was always very fast with answering any questions we had along the way. Would recommend anyone else making a real estate purchase to go with Steve. 5 months into our Co-Op purchase, we are very happy! read more

Steve was amazingly helpful to me during the sale of my condo. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for an attorney for a real estate sale or purchase! He explained everything to me, was clear about the steps needed, and responded to me immediately whenever I had questions or concerns, which was often! I would tell any of my friends and family to use Steve as their real estate attorney! read more

I met with him to discussing becoming my real estate lawyer. Not only was he very personable and friendly, but he knows his stuff (especially if you are purchasing in the astoria and the surrounding areas in queens). He walked me through all the steps and really took the time to explain things to me. Additionally, he was able to immediately advise me about the property I was thinking about purchasing (most lawyers can't do that). He is very experienced and has a relationship with many other real estate lawyers, real estate agents, sellers, buyers, condos, coop board, etc. Buying in NYC is an insanely stressful process, and I am happy I found a great lawyer who can support me as well as advocate for me. read more

Steve handled our real estate deal from start to finish with absolute professionalism. He's quick, to the point, easy to contact and very knowledgeable. He was ever patient when I would ask questions that might annoy most people - I like to be well informed. Most importantly, I felt he had my best interest in mind. I would not hesitate to recommend Steve to anyone looking to complete a real estate deal. read more

Steve is an excellent attorney. I used him for the sale of a rental property and for a deed transfer. He is very friendly, efficient, extremely knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. He is also very informative and precise, and responds to emails and phone calls almost immediately, even on the weekends. My brother and parents have used him as well. Highly, highly recommended! read more

As first time home buyers, my wife and I were very fortunate to have Steve Leunes as our real estate attorney. We were looking to purchase a unit in the North Queensview Homes co-op complex located in Astoria. Fortunately for us, Steve has extensive knowledge and experience with this co-op and their management, which was extremely helpful in navigating the difficult process of buying there. In addition, he was always very responsive to any of our questions or concerns, even during off-hours. I highly recommend Steve Leunes, especially if you are looking to buy at North Queensview. read more

I have done 3 deals on the purchase and sale side with Mr. Leunes. He also represented my parents at a closing. He has always been professional and accessible. He responds to emails and phone calls.

I respect his professionalism and real estate knowledge. read more
