Working with Steven and Diana was truly the highlight of our home-buying journey. As first-time homeowners, the process seemed daunting and overwhelming at first, but Steven and Diana guided us every step of the way. They patiently answered our countless questions, helped us stay calm during moments of uncertainty, and were incredibly detail-oriented to ensure we were protected throughout the entire transaction. We are beyond grateful for their support and cannot thank them enough! We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a home in Brooklyn or anywhere in New York.

Steve and Diana were diligent, helpful, responsive and friendly working through a succession of unexpected issues to make our real estate purchase happen literally on the last day possible. They even rushed to the bank in person to get the paperwork there on time. Thank you both very much for all your assistance - highly recommended!

My wife and I purchased our first home this year, and we worked with Steve and Diana on the transaction. In what ended up being a bit of a chaotic process, Steve and Diana were the ones we turned to for guidance. They were incredibly helpful, and went above and beyond to ensure we closed the deal as soon as possible.

My husband and I could not be more thankful that we found Steve Ebbin and his colleague, Diana. They are both so incredible to work with. They are not only impeccably organized but also are willing to answer any small question that you may have. We felt supported every step of the process. It was completely due to their support that we now live in our dream home. Thank YOU!

Can not say enough good things about Steve and Diane. They guided us through our first NY real estate transaction. Incredibly responsive to questions. We will no doubt work with them again for all real estate needs.

I was referred to Mr. Ebbin from a friend as I needed counsel for a residential co-op purchase (my first) in Brooklyn. As an attorney myself, I greatly appreciated Mr. Ebbin's representation. He and his paralegal Diana answered all my questions, were incredibly familiar with the intricacies of co-op purchases, and responded immediately to all of my communications. His flat fee was also very reasonable. I can highly recommend Mr. Ebbin for any real estate transaction.

I needed a real estate lawyer for my first ever purchase of property - an apartment in Brooklyn. Both Steve Ebbin and his Paralegal, Diana were amazing. Diana is who I dealt with until closing. She was so patient and answeres all question via phone or email, every step of the way, including going through the contract section by section. Steve was wonderful during the closing where seemingly thousands of papers had to be signed, explaining everyone last one. He was calm and kind.
In addition, they have both been available to answer questions since the closing, as the actually closing entailed an overwhelming amount of information and they understand assistance may be needed afterwards.
I also found the flat fee cost for coop purchase more than reasonable.
Overall, I am very pleased with the entire experience and would highly recommend this legal practice!

I'm midway through my third real estate transaction with Steve and Diana and wholeheartedly recommend both of these talented professionals. I'm lucky to be represented by a team with a thorough knowledge of law and procedure. Every question and follow up question I've asked (hundreds) has been promptly and patiently answered, with attention to detail and a sense of humor. At closing, Steve took the time to explain each document and it's significance, sometimes re-explaining when necessary. When there was an unexpected fee Steve successfully argued that it wasn't our responsibility and was a real advocate. Between their vast knowledge of real estate transactions, dedication and advocacy to their clients and good spirits, it was a relief and a comfort to have Steve and Diana on my side. I wholeheartedly recommend hiring Steve Ebbin.

My wife and I have used Steve and his team for a number of years now. They are attentive, efficient, well priced, and extremely friendly. I referred my sister to them for the sale of her coop and she loved them, as well. We are currently redoing our wills with them. We will continue to use them for everything we can even though we've moved out of the City. They're that good!

A delayed posting, but this was my first apartment purchase, last year. Steve was super helpful showing me the ropes... super patient with me and answering my millions of questions I had about the process, as well as the contract, really taking the time to answer them so I could understand. He's funny and with his sense of humor, gave me the moral support and helped me get through the painful experience of getting to the closing day. Diana in his office was extremely nice and helpful as well. I can't wait to come back to Steve again, when I purchase my next home.

Steve was incredibly helpful and communicative throughout the sale/closing process. His office handled things beautifully and in a timely manner, and they negotiated well for me -- I only had to weigh in on one or two items, which was great since I was in the process of moving and consumed by other things. Overall they made a complicated process seamless, which I really appreciated.

Although you can't tell from the sparkling review that I gave Steve, I'm a very tough grader. If I had encountered even a single issue during my interactions, he would not be getting five stars from me.
I worked with Steve and his fantastic assistant Diana for two separate real estate transactions over the course of the last four years. I've never found the team to be less than excellent.
During my initial house purchase, it was clear that Steve knew exactly what was going on and he was patient enough to explain all the necessary parts to me very clearly. It was also clear that he was known, liked, and respected by everyone in the room, which also seems really important.
During my most recent house sale, the entire transaction was carried out with a minimum of fuss. I was kept updated every step of the way, despite being unable to be physically present for most of the proceedings. Everything was concluded right on schedule.
I don't have a lot of experience working with lawyers, but I've been told by friends that I am extremely lucky to not have a single complaint. If I encounter a legal issue in NYC again, Steve and Diana will be the first team that I contact.
