Greenbaum partner Conor J. Hennessey will be a panelist for a presentation on “Hot Topics in Residential Real Estate 2025,” to be hosted by the New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, from 9:00am – 3:30pm at the New Jersey Law Center. The seminar will also be available for online viewing.

The year 2025 has been especially significant for residential real estate practitioners, with many changes that directly affect the practice. Amendments to the "Mansion Tax" and Controlling Interest Transfer Tax (CITT) took effect in July, requiring sellers to pay the tax on certain high-value property transfers and a new tiered tax rate. Additionally, New Jersey implemented the Real Estate Consumer Protection Enhancement Act, which mandates greater disclosure of property conditions and agent representation at open houses. This practical seminar will provide an update on the most current laws, regulations, procedures and issues in the practice.

Conor concentrates his practice in commercial litigation involving real estate transactions, real estate brokerage law, business disputes, commercial contract actions, consumer fraud act claims, and professional malpractice cases.  In the specialized area of real estate brokerage law, he has significant experience including the litigation and mediation of business disputes on behalf of brokerages and claims brought against real estate licensees. He represents brokers and salespersons before the New Jersey Real Estate Commission and local real estate boards and provides guidance to clients on general brokerage issues. He has been involved in matters brought before the New Jersey Supreme Court, the New Jersey Appellate Division, and the Office of Administrative Law with broad-based impacts on New Jersey’s real estate brokerage industry.
