This is a follow-up review. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Teresa Raniere, R/E Attorney, to represent anyone…read morebuying or selling their home!!! I will start off by saying that Teresa Raniere is an AMAZING R/E Attorney! We found her name in a Google search. We spoke with her several times over a weekend and decided to hire her. Teresa guided us through every step of our transaction! She went above and beyond. Teresa said she, "wants to be known as the attorney who does the right thing for her clients" and she has proven that throughout our experience. She has excellent character. She is fair. She is intelligent. She is patient. She listens. She answers questions and/or searches for answers to questions. She is professional. She is honest. She is very personable, caring and dependable. She protects her clients. She is diligent. She pays attention to detail. She is proactive in addressing issues or possible problems that may come up in the transaction. Teresa is very knowledgeable in her field. She is very thorough and double checks with state requirements and internet searches. She sends you supporting documents for your information and learning. She sends you preparation lists and timelines so there are no surprises. I have learned that with any contract, you should read it carefully because you are the one in the end signing it, not the person who wrote it whether it be a R/E agent, home inspector, repair person or lawyer. After Teresa created our contract, she was open to any clarifications or changes that I thought might be needed. We spent time going back-and-forth revising until we were both satisfied with it. We were both making sure that we were protected in our purchase and she was making sure that it was fair also to the seller. She literally rescued us from making a huge mistake. We were almost stuck buying a home that would have been a money pit... It is well worth your time reading about our experience. We were looking to purchase a manufactured mobile home in Glenwood Village, Riverhead. The R/E agent was putting pressure on us for the fact that the community was going to be bought out by Hometown America soon and she said that "the HOA fees most likely would increase by about $300 per month". The R/E agent told us we did not need an inspection nor an attorney for the purchase. She said, "it was like buying a car". She created a contract that required a $20,000 deposit and only protected the sellers. The contract was signed by us then the sellers and then sent back to us to fill in the date to be "Fully executed." Over the weekend we realized that we needed a R/E attorney. We found Teresa Raniere's name in a Google search and gave her a call. She spent hours on Saturday and Sunday of that weekend communicating with us and guiding us on how to handle our predicament. She recommended not sending the contract back with the date filled in and to cancel the deposit check ASAP. Thank goodness the R/E agent had not deposited it yet. Teresa spent hours creating an appropriate contract that not only protected us in the purchase but was fair and protected the sellers. She created it with 3 specific contingencies. 1. Hometown America would accept the HOA fees of the current owner since we weren't going to close before they bought the community. 2. The deposit would be fully refunded if the home inspection was not satisfactory and there were no repairs needed greater than $500. 3. The deposit would be fully refunded if we were not able to obtain homeowner's insurance. (Which we found out was quite difficult to obtain for a manufactured home and would have denied us in the end.) As it turned out Hometown America was agreeable with accepting the HOA fees. Thank goodness we had a home inspection. The inspector found that the unit needed at least $20,000 worth of repairs. In summary, the inspector reported the following: The unit needed a new roof. The hot water heater was not 1-year-old as they said and was not vented correctly. Sewage was leaking under the unit. One of the windows had a leak around it. The new dishwasher was not hooked up properly and was leaking under the sink. The list went on and on... Because of the condition of the roof the Inspector reported that the homeowner's insurance companies most likely would deny us coverage. The only homeowner's insurance company, Assurant, that would cover Manufactured Homes did deny us. Because of the contract with the contingencies that Teresa created and her constant guidance we were able to get our $20,000 deposit refunded. We are looking for another home for my sister. Teresa has already sent me information with possibilities and options for housing. We will certainly be hiring her again. I recommended her to all of my family and friends. As I said above, I highly recommend Teresa Raniere, R/E Attorney, to represent anyone buying or selling their home!!!

She always knew what action to take next and which motion to file for every new situation that arose. She knows family law. From the minute I retained her I felt safe and informed. I knew that I could always trust what she was telling me. She always got back to me promptly. I never once felt like I was left in the dark, unlike my previous custody experience. In the court room she is tough, to the point, and well respected by her peers. When it came to trial she was well organized and prepared for everything. Being that this was my first real experience within a court room I was very nervous and had no idea what to expect. Every single time we appeared in court she kept me calm, focused, and set realistic expectations for how things would go. Before Lauren I had lost faith in the whole legal system. I felt my hands were tied to an unfair custody agreement and that I could not protect myself or daughter. She truly changed our lives! I would recommend her over and over, she is an incredible attorney!

UPDATE: I have been using Miae's services since 2007 and she has always been reliable.  As…read moreaforementioned in my 2015 review, she has assisted my family with 2 condo purchases.  However, since then, she also has provided other services for subsequent deed/title transfers and advice on avoiding probate court.  In response to some of the past reviews, the 1st one sounds like she's angry for not getting hired after a poor job interview with the office...no complaint for any legal service that was provided. As for the 2012 review, people should realize that most questions/problems get resolved, and resolved very quicky, just by getting on the phone...being at work is no excuse for not availing yourself for a phone call...one of you could have skipped lunch.  Legal/real estate matters are very serious matters requiring preparation and work by both sides!  As for emailing, I and most professional persons would agree with Miae. The amount of time it takes to write an email, wait for a response, and wondering/waiting when you'll get a response is a total waste of everyone's time...a follow-up call should have been made same or next day.  It's not like a store when you pay for exactly what you want and get the item instantly...legal/real estate matters require a working relationship because attorneys aren't mind readers.  Miae has always been able to address all my questions/concerns because I prepare a list of them and discuss them with her.  By preparing in this way, value is added by moving the discussion along, opening up the conversation and potentially bringing up more questions that I, or the lawyer, didn't think of before. You sound like a millennial who would rather IM, DM and text and who lost the basic skill of conversation along with cursive writing...both are lost arts nowadays with newer generations. Finally, the 2018 review with crazy all-caps, Miae always speaks to us in English and you're accusing her of only speaking with non-English speaking clients?  You need to check your own English because you really meant to write "unscrupulous". Miae absolutely knows what she's doing!  She has a good moral compass, is professional,  knowledgeable and very reliable.  If you need assistance with real estate contract/deed or personal will matters, then I definitely recommend her services.
