Real Estate

Florida residential and commercial real estate transactions are complex and represent significant investments by all parties involved. Whether buying or selling a property yourself or on behalf of a business, working with an experienced attorney is critical.

The Importance of Legal Representation During Real Estate Transactions
Many buyers and sellers believe brokers can fulfill their needs and do not consult an attorney. This is a frequent and significant mistake in real estate transactions. Brokers often consult and use “standard-form” contracts and do not consider a deal’s specific requirements, such as the unique needs of a business. In contrast, a lawyer can revise and draft the agreement to meet the parties’ specific needs by including conditions that the buyer or seller must satisfy before closing.

Our attorneys participate in contract drafting and negotiations. The time to engage an attorney is before starting negotiations, particularly before signing a contract. This is a crucial stage in the transaction process, and an attorney can negotiate the terms of the agreement and limit your liability. Once a contract is signed, an attorney can only review and explain the terms rather than negotiate for terms that serve all the parties involved while minimizing the potential for disagreements and lawsuits.

Many consumers do not consult attorneys ahead of time, which causes many real estate transactions to end in avoidable lawsuits.
