Purchase and Sale Agreements

Whether you are a homebuyer, seller or an investor, you’ve made an investment that may be the largest single investment you will ever make. It needs protection.

The cornerstone of any purchase or sale of real estate is the contract you sign. The quality of the contract you sign depends on the talent and experience of the lawyer you hire.

What we do

We are real estate attorneys, advisors and lawyers. We have represented countless buyers and sellers of homes, condominiums and investment properties throughout Massachusetts for over 30 years. We’ve negotiated hundreds of purchase and sale agreements and counseled thousands of buyers and sellers. We’ve solved inspection problems, moving problems, title problems and answered concerns and questions you’ve yet to imagine.

It’s not just a matter of an attorney knowing the laws or the form of a contract; it’s a matter of knowing how to structure a deal, where the contract nuances lie, how problems arise and how to avoid or solve them. If an issue arises that jeopardizes a purchase or sale, it’s knowing when and how in solve the problem or protect against the loss of one’s deposit or the termination of the sale.

That comes with experience and knowing what matters. That’s what we have.

Our goal in representing a client is to make an agreement for the purchase or sale of your home or condo that is fair to you, gets it done on time and eliminates any potential conflict or litigation after the sale.

We represent buyers and sellers of homes and condominiums throughout Massachusetts.

Due to the firm's efficiency, clarity and warmth, it was an uncomplicated process. We both enjoyed working with George, who anticipated and answered all our questions.

Thank you all so much for your hard work and all-around awesomeness. You really made the home-buying process enjoyable.

George Warshaw’s legal acumen and human qualities are just what was needed in the handling of our transaction. In protracted real estate negotiations, he was a mainstay: firm, steadfast and understanding beyond expectation. His expediting and resolving all questions was singularly impressive. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have found him.

We had purchased a condo without a real estate agent but our lawyer, Noel, basically stepped into to assure we were not getting shorted on anything. She asked questions we has not thought of and requested documentation so we had all the right information. How many lawyers you know will come in on a Sunday to do the final walkthrough with you?!

Noel, you are SO GOOD! Thanks for looking out for and taking such good care of me. Really appreciate it.

Great - thank you Dominic! It has been great working with you and Noel. Things could not have gone more smoothly.

It was such a pleasure to work with you and the team and we couldn’t be happier with the support, knowledge and experience you have given us during the process. We have been really quite relaxed during the whole sale process even though we have been thousands of miles away in Norway because we have had such confidence and trust in your ability to handle everything on our behalf. All of the documents were excellent, the instructions clear and the speed of your responses to my questions and comments was really great. I’m not sure how the process was for you guys, but from over here you made it look smooth!

Noel is the first attorney that I have worked with who is very understanding, polite, amicable and professional. She is the best in her space. My sincere thanks goes to her.

Dom, you’re awesome! Sincerely.

Thank you again for your assistance. We always feel secure working with you!

Thank you so much Dominic! It was very nice meeting and working with you!! Also, thanks for helping me and my family in getting our first home!! I will always reach out and recommend friends and colleagues.

Where do I sign up for your fan club?

I enjoyed working with you as well. You are one of the few attorneys who doesn't try to wreck a deal with small posturing details. Thanks for making this deal work.

It is a great relief to sleep soundly when going through a sale or purchase of a property knowing that your attorney is your advocate and has taken a personal interest in your case. Their performance was perfect.

Dominic, in my opinion, you should certainly continue working with Warshaw, DiCarlo & Associates – you represent them well.

I have had the good fortune to be a client of Warshaw, Di Carlo in the capacity of buyer and seller. In both cases, I have purchased two homes and sold one with their help, I was assisted from the very start until the last document was signed of the process with excellence. Every person who works at the office was immediately available, helpful with exact answers to questions and proactive in order to make sure every step along the way was accomplished without drama and last minute surprises. Throughout every step of the process I was in good hands and never had a second thought as to the thoroughness of the team.

Noel DiCarlo conducted the closing with more professionalism, courtesy, and joie de vivre than I could imagine from a lawyer handling such a mundane matter. She was the opposite of condescension, treating my wife and I as valuable clients. She knew every form and its rationale to the nth degree, and explained whatever we didn't understand with a concise and perfect reply. Before the hour was up, my wife and I were actually enjoying the meeting and our interaction with Noel.

Thank you for all you do for us and our clients. Your firm is simply the best we deal with by my experience!

We just wanted to thank you a million times over for all the work you put in for us the past two weeks (and before!). We know this would not have happened without all your hard work and the high level of calm you maintained through it all.

It was a pleasure speaking with you on the phone, you were very helpful, fun to speak to and well informed on the transaction. I look forward to meeting you tomorrow.

In less than a day, you've provided more information than the two lawyers involved with the re-financing provided over two and a half months.

My wife and I have bought and sold close to two dozen properties in five states over the past 35 years while represented by many different attorneys. Without a doubt, our most recent experience being represented by George and his staff has been the best. The service was comprehensive, efficient and professional and all done for a reasonable fee.

Noel Di Carlo conducted our closing and her attention to detail and ability to explain various closing documents was excellent. Noel's personality and ability to tell great stories we found exceptional given their busy practice. Rest assured we will be telling our friends and professionals about the services that were provided by the Bank, Noel DiCarlo and the firm.

Approved. Can you teach other people to do the perfect Settlement Statement?

Noel. Thank you for your time and consideration during the heated moments. Cooler heads prevail, and you were one Cool Cat.

Thanks for your accommodating, cooperative, upbeat approach to getting our deal closed---a pleasure as always.

The process could not have been handled better on your end. Responsive, smooth, straight-forward. Will definitely recommend you to anyone who needs such services.

Thank you so much Dominic, I greatly appreciate the professional way your firm handled my closing, and the attention to every detail. It was a pleasure working with everyone, and I look forward to future dealings. I will be sure to refer my friends and family.

Thank you, so very much, for your time yesterday. You were very clear in your explanations and in answering questions. I do not remember the same courtesy when we first bought the house, as well as issues we had with the bank communicating with us this time around as well. You communicate well, and are very articulate. You should be proud and confident in the work you do.

Finding the right law office to represent your interests is part due diligence and part luck. We certainly felt very lucky when George and his team represented us as home buyers. The documents were in a terrible state of disarray, but George and his team went over them with a fine-tooth comb, and highlighted every point in layman's terms. We were so impressed with the knowledge, dedication and accessibility everyone in the office exhibited that we chose to have George represent us again, this time as home sellers.

Thank you. It was such a pleasure to work with you. I can’t thank you enough for your time and consideration in figuring out how to get the documents signed. I truly appreciate your efforts.

Thanks again, Noel, for another excellent job for us. It’s always a pleasure to work with you.

Thank you Dominic - you guys were terrific to work with.

Thank you for the utmost professional skill and care while we navigated our home purchase. We are deeply thankful for all your time and effort. We're looking forward to our new home, thank you all for everything.

I just wanted to thank you and your team for making my refinancing seamless. It was an excellent, professional effort.

Noel, It was great to meet you today, and a pleasure working with you. It’s always good to have capable counsel on the other side.

We want to thank you for your efforts on our behalf. It was a lucky day when our realtor gave me your name for this transaction! So glad you were on our side.

Noel, thank you very much for all your hard work on our new home purchase! We enjoyed working with you and I think that for the first time home buying experience, we could not have asked for a more pleasant experience (except for the 30 years of mortgage payments!)

Thank you for all you have done with this property. Your expertise, guidance and support have been over the top outstanding! Mark and I could never have imagined doing this with anyone else but you. You are fabulous and you have a winning team! I’m sorry it was so frustrating and difficult. Sometimes things are just not meant to be. I guess the towel hasn’t been thrown in completely just yet but I just wanted to give you a hug.

Noel, you are the best!!! I mean it...

We wanted to be sure to say thank you very much. Always great to know that the people you work with are not only terrific at their jobs, but are also terrific people!!

I'm glad you are our lawyer.

Everyone I've spoken to at your firm has been both smart and friendly. You are great to work with. Thanks so much for all your help.

Thank you so much for hanging in there with me on all of the communication. Your firm is absolutely the best I deal with across the county. Just simple being pleasant every time we speak is refreshing. Thanks again for all you do for me and better yet for our clients!

Thanks to all. Everyone has been WONDERFUL. Great team.

Dominic Poncia was well-prepared and a pleasure to deal with.

Thanks so much for all the help and charm!

We really appreciate the excellent work and care that you and your team put into our purchase. You made it very easy on us and for that, we are grateful. Thank you again.

Noel, thank you so much for working with us on the sale of our condo in Boston. We can't believe how fortunate we were to have you referred to us for our real estate transaction. It was handled in the most professional manner that we could have imagined. Your care for your clients is evident from the initial phone call to the very end (even updating us on our drive cross country - wow!)

Thank you, Dominic. You are terrific!!

Thanks so much for the super pleasant, organized closing meeting this morning, and for tolerating the kids -- they learned a lot (even a little math).

I wanted to thank you for recommending George Warshaw to us . His help proved to be invaluable to our family. He helped me negotiate the real estate fee, walked me and my extended family through the process. His demeanor and care toward us made us feel cared for throughout. We had to communicate with some of the staff at his law firm and we were very pleased with their professionalism.

Noel, thanks so much!! It's not often you come across attorneys as competent and pleasant as yourself and I really appreciate all the help on this one! You did a terrific job!

I wanted to say thank you to you and your amazing team. As you know, we settled this week on our MV refinance, which will help us to restructure our DC loan. Robert and I appreciate all of the prompt help and professionalism during our transaction and to close our loan during what we know is a busy time for the industry. It was great once again to work with you and your team.

George and Dom - - You are incredibly conscientious. Thank you for all that info.

The process of buying a home is not always a fun part of adult life. There are a ton of confusing legal terms and at the end of the day you open your wallet to only hope everything goes ok. This is why having a competent and compassionate team behind you is so important. Every single member of this law office embodies these virtues. Don't let the fancy Newbury Street address fool you. Once they take one your case they stick with it until the end.

Thanks for all your hard work and attention to both P&S agreements. It's been great to know that you've been taking care of everything.

It was a pleasure working with you as well, Dominic. You were incredibly responsive and helpful.

Dear Noel, You are amazing!!!!!!! I cannot thank-you enough!!!

You guys are wonderful! It’s truly a pleasure to work with your office!

Thank you so very much for everything that you did to make the transactions such a success. As always, everything was perfect.

A sincere thanks and complements Noel– I’ve worked on many closings (personally and professionally) and I was really impressed (and thankful) for the way you organized the closing materials and sets.

I just wanted to thank you again Dominic. You really were awesome today. If we ever officially close it will be because of you. :-)

Noel: That was a piece of cake because of your amazing legal PROWESS.

Noel, thank you, it is always a pleasure working with you. You always go above and beyond and it is always appreciated.

Noel, Thanks! You are great to work with. Many thanks for your patience, tact and professionalism.

The Warshaw, Di Carlo team is quick to respond to any questions you might have. The process was quite smooth from creation of the condominium documents all the way to the closing. Also their office is dog friendly and conveniently located. If you happen to be in the market for a knowledgeable, solid, caring and efficient law office you cannot get better than Noel and these folks!

Thanks! We were so confident with you handling the closing for us that I nearly forgot that it was happening. Thanks for everything.

Your office does a good job for people, which is why I will always refer to you if anyone asks me!

I just wanted to let you know that my dad could not speak more highly of you. He mentioned that he spoke with you when he called in and was just blown away with how gracious you were on the phone. I just wanted to personally thank you as my parents haven’t bought a house in 30 years and this whole process is new to them. You deserve to know because that’s what makes you guys stand out above all others! It’s what made me refer my parents and what will make me continue referring people to your law firm!
