Reviews
Justin was extremely helpful and knowledgeable! I would recommend him very highly!
I was referred to Justin at the start of my home buying process. From the beginning Justin was on top of every question i had and even provided information and insight into questions i didnt know i would have coming up. He was always very attentive as was his assistant Mari. When it came down to closing he was on time and explained every detail of the closing which was pretty daunting to me. Highly recommended Justin. If i could give more then 5 starts i would have.
As a new home owner, I started the process somewhat unsure of what yo expect. Justin walked me through every step of the process and always stayed very patient and professional. For any question I had, there was always a very quick answer and I never felt lost in the process. Really excellent service and I would recommend Justin to anyone looking to buy a new home!
Justin worked with me on the sale of my previous house and the purchase of my new house. We had to deal with very demanding buyers but Justin walked me through the process, responded immediately to issues that cropped up, and provided valuable counsel. I would strongly recommend working with him.
Justin quickly answered all of our questions whenever we had them (there were a lot as we were first-time buyers). He was prompt to every meeting and talked us through the entire process. This was a great experience, we won’t be using anyone but Justin in the future!
Mr. Strane was very professional. He listened to our concerns and researched our questions if he did not have the information. Greatly appreciated that he was working to represent us as home buyers. His expertise was superb where he was well versed as well as a mix of being extremely thoughtful and personable to buyers who needed answers.
Justin Strane guided myself and my partner through the purchase of our first home. We appreciated his expertise in the legal realm and specifically the real estate process. We trusted his advice during contract negotiations and the closing process. His efforts resulted in an efficient closing, during which time he was able to streamline our review of the most pertinent information for our situation while also explaining more template-driven information. With COVID-19 adaptations at play, Justin was present virtually for our closing and the process was smooth, safe, and enjoyable -- a genuine compliment when a situation involves reviewing and signing over 100 pages of documentation. Additionally, Justin was able to support us in drawing up a non-traditional cohabitation agreement, which gave us peace of mind that we have the legal documentation in place to protect us both. His flexibility, responsiveness, and diligence made us grateful to have him as our legal representative.
We were incredibly fortunate to meet Justin Strane through a mutual real estate agent/friend...and we're SO grateful we did! Justin has all the ingredients of an excellent attorney--expertise, phenomenal communication skills, fair pricing, and dedication to see a project through, ensuring no detail is left to chance. As real estate investors, these qualities are of paramount importance as we move swiftly from one deal to the next. Our team cannot recommend him highly enough and we look forward to a long lasting relationship and more deals together in the future. Thank you for all of your hard work with Property People LLC!
I was put in touch with Justin Strane by a commercial real estate broker I had been working with. I needed help reviewing a lease for a new office space, to make sure that everything was in order for a hassle free tenancy. Justin was easy to talk to, laid out everything I needed to know regarding the legal language, and was quick to turn around his comments on the lease. I appreciated the phone call we had to discuss his red-lines - he helped me understand exactly what I was committing to. I'll definitely be returning to Justin for my next lease, knowing I'll receive excellent, top-quality service!
I hired Justin to represent me while selling my home. He clearly explained the process up front (including his fees). He and his paralegal Rosanne were both very responsive throughout the process, answering my questions and providing guidance when I asked. He also went out of his way to help me obtain a home warranty, which the buyers requested. The closing went smoothly.
