Stephanie Petty, Esq.

I have so many nice things to say, I don’t know where to begin. I guess I’ll start by saying, my closing was a nightmare. It was a foreclosure and it felt like everything that could go wrong, did (all on the sellers end). Atty. Petty was a rockstar. She made the process as simple as possible and kept in constant communication with us throughout the ordeal. She’d respond nights and weekends too, which was quite surprising to me. I know we weren’t her only client but she sure made us feel that way. She hounded the seller’s agents constantly when it felt like they were trying to sabotage the transaction. I truly feel, if we had any other attorney, we may have lost the house that we love.
She is super easy to talk with and has the most wonderful personality. I’ve worked with another real estate attorney in the past. He was OK, but not very easy to talk with and communication was a bit choppy. Atty. Petty was so good, my Realtor, whom I also love, said she will be referring all her clients to Atty. Petty moving forward. My Realtor has been in the business a lot of years and says Atty. Petty is hands down the best she’s ever seen.
Do not even hesitate to contact anyone else. You will not be disappointed. I didn’t know Atty. Petty before this transaction, so this review is completely unbiased. She is just THAT GOOD.

There are a lot of reviews on Unilocal that make sweeping exaggerations, «the best, couldn’t be happier» and whatnot. Well in this particular case of home buying and selling and the complicated legal obligations and contracts that adjoin the process Attorney Petty is THE BEST. Our particular transaction was complicated and lengthy and frustrating but Attorney Petty kept cool when I couldn’t and saw that we were legally protected through a well-​constructed purchase agreement during and after the sale. This is our second home purchase and we wish we knew Attorney Petty for the first one. Highly recommended.

As first-​time homebuyers, we hired Stephanie to help us through the process. She was also the closing attorney, which saved us quite a bit of money. Stephanie was absolutely incredible and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. She was very responsive and returned calls and emails quickly, she answered all of my question (and as a first-​timer, I had a LOT), and she was always looking out for our best interest. She covered every base and I feel confident that everything is all set. She was the driving force that allowed our house to close on time and she went above and beyond to make everything happen on schedule.
Definitely hire her!

As first-​time homebuyers, we desperately needed a competent guiding hand to complete our first ever real estate transaction. Stephanie was recommended by our realtor, and since her fees are very reasonable (huge discount if you use her as your closing attorney in addition to buyer’s representation), we went with her, and thank goodness we did.
Stephanie patiently guided us through the entire process, and explained to us in very plain terms everything we needed to know. She was on top of everything whenever our lender called needing something, and let us know right away what our options were when something unexpected came up with our purchase (which happened just about every week). Thanks in large part to Stephanie, we got our closing done on time, despite several snafus on the seller’s side that threatened to derail our timetable. She always communicated news to us quickly, and is easy to reach, not to mention incredibly friendly and a pleasure to deal with.
In the complex world of real estate, everybody needs an advocate who knows what they’re doing, both to hold your hand through the process (looking at you, fellow first-​timers) and to fight for your interests (everybody, period). Stephanie Petty was that person for us.
