Mr. Scotto D’Aniello personally deals with each of his clients to ensure that all of their questions answered, but further to assist his clients through any contract negotiations throughout the entire closing.
Attorney Review
Once the initial contract is signed, the parties will enter into a period of the closing that is known as the Attorney Review. Many of times, a Realtor presents you with a standard contract known as the “Statewide New Jersey Realtors Standard Form of Real Estate Sales Contract”. During this pivotal part of the Closing, Mr. Scotto D’Aniello will not only review the contract to ensure that all of your interests are protected, but will attach and include a Rider or Addendum to the contract, which contains specific or additional provisions that may have been discussed between the parties, but may not have been included at the time the contract was signed. Once the Rider is completed, it is then sent to the Seller or Seller’s Attorney for review. Once the parties are able to agree upon all additional provisions of the Contract, the Attorney Review portion of the Closing is completed, and you are one-step closer to getting into your new home!
Inspection Contingency
A majority of times, Buyers may not have the ability, time, or knowledge to inspect the home they wish to purchase at the time that they first see the house. Other times, a Seller may not accurately or in detail disclose any and all issues with the home in their Seller’s Disclosure. Mr. Scotto D’Aniello not only ensures that his client’s interests are protected with respect to allow a detailed inspection of the home, but most importantly, Mr. Scotto D’Aniello assists each of his clients through the inspection phase of the closing to address any issues that may arise after an inspection is performed. Typically, Buyers have anywhere from ten to fourteen days from the conclusion of Attorney Review to hire a professional home inspection company to come inspect the home and render an inspection report. Mr. Scotto D’Aniello reviews the inspection report line by line with his clients and addresses each item that his client may believe is of concern that may not have been visible or noticeable at the time the client visited the home.
Mortgage Contingency
As a first-time home buyer, many of Mr. Scotto D’Aniello’s clients need to obtain a mortgage to purchase the home. Typically, a home buyer is required to obtain a mortgage commitment within thirty-five days from the conclusion of attorney review. Mr. Scotto D’Aniello personally assists each of his clients with the relationship with their lender, but provides exceptional service to ensure that all parameters are timely met to secure a mortgage commitment with the lender.

For example, it is imperative to know as a first-time home buyer that not only is the Seller selling the property free and clear of any outstanding liens or encumbrances on the Property, but most importantly, that the home is being sold by an individual or individuals who have a sole equitable interest in the home, and that no other individual or entity is asserting a lien on the property. Mr. Scotto D’Aniello assists his clients by finding the right Title Agency that not only provides fair and reasonable rates, but provides all necessary services to ensure the client’s financial protection up and through the closing.
