"The only time I set the bar low is for limbo."
— Michael Scott, The Office

This quote always makes me laugh, but in real estate law, it's also how I operate. When you’re buying or selling a home, the last thing you want is to feel like just another file on someone’s desk. I set the bar high—because that's what my clients deserve.

I’m Teresa Raniere, a Long Island real estate attorney guiding clients through residential and commercial real estate transactions.

I work directly with every client—from first contact to final signature—providing straightforward guidance and reliable legal support every step of the way, because real estate law isn’t just about paperwork. It’s about trust, timing, and protecting what matters most.

I believe in clear communication, honest answers, and making sure you fully understand every part of your transaction. When you work with me, you're getting someone who values responsiveness, attention to detail, and your peace of mind.

Legal Services You Can Count On

I provide trusted legal guidance for residential buyers and sellers, commercial property transactions, real estate investors and lenders.


Whether you're purchasing a co-op, condo, or single-family home, or navigating the sale of commercial property, you’ll have an experienced real estate attorney on your side who keeps your best interest at the center of every decision. I assist with:

Contract preparation and review

Negotiation and deal strategy

Title review and issue resolution

Closing coordination with lenders, brokers, and title companies

Final document execution and representation at closing

Coffee in one hand,

ambition in the other.


Day or night, I love what I do!

About Me

I became a real estate attorney because I genuinely enjoy helping people make big life moves. I focus exclusively on real estate law because I believe it deserves the same level of attention and care as any other legal matter.

My approach is simple:

  • be honest
  • be responsive
  • be thorough

I’ve represented hundreds of buyers, sellers, and investors throughout Long Island and New York City. Whether it's your first purchase or your fifth closing, I treat every deal like it matters—because it does.

When I’m not working, you can find me enjoying time with my family, staying active in my community, or out for a walk on the South Shore.

Grateful Mama

Lucas is a walking ESPN analyst who can rattle off stats like it’s his job. He’s got a competitive spirit, a quick wit, and a way of keeping everyone entertained.


Violet is already proving to be sassy, strong-willed, and completely fearless. She’s tiny but determined, with a personality big enough to keep up with her big brother.


Penelope "Penny" Lane, our puppy who has more energy than all of us combined.

My Sweetheart

My fiance, Sky, is a Huntington, NY, native, who, oddly enough, went to St. Anthony's

with me, but we didn't meet until 20 years later. He's the funniest person I know and somehow loves me endlessly—even with all my chaos. He keeps me laughing, keeps me grounded (mostly), and is the best dad and bonus dad to our crazy crew.

Loves

Crime documentaries, Mexican food, exploring Long Island, traveling (when possible), interior design, home improvement ideas (for Sky to handle, of course), board games, and all things real estate! If I'm not at home, I'm on the field or hiding from my children for 5 minutes while I add 10 things to my Amazon cart.
