What does a real estate attorney review before closing?

The scope depends on the transaction, but review may include the purchase agreement, title commitment and exceptions, survey, financing conditions, entity authority, closing statement, transfer documents, and issues identified during due diligence.

Can the firm serve as closing and title agent?

The firm has extensive closing and title experience. The role available in a particular transaction depends on the contract, lender requirements, parties, and any conflicts that must be evaluated.

Should I sign a purchase contract before speaking with an attorney?

A signed contract can create binding duties and deadlines. When possible, legal review before signing can help identify terms that deserve negotiation. If a contract is already signed, prompt review can help clarify the existing obligations and timeline.

Can an LLC or trust own Florida real estate?

Property can be held in several ways, but the appropriate structure depends on use, financing, liability, estate planning, tax, and homestead considerations. Legal and tax advice should be coordinated before selecting a structure.

Do you assist Spanish-speaking and international clients?

Yes. The firm provides services in English and Spanish and works with domestic and international clients who own or plan to acquire Florida property.

Understand the matter

Residential closings with the details coordinated

The firm assists with purchase agreements, title work, lender and broker coordination, closing documents, funding requirements, and the transfer of homes and condominiums. The goal is to surface title, contract, timing, and document questions before they become closing-day surprises.

Commercial transactions require a wider lens

Commercial acquisitions and sales may involve due diligence, entity authority, lease terms, estoppels, financing conditions, title exceptions, surveys, and negotiated closing deliverables. Legal review should connect the transaction documents to the client’s business and ownership objectives.

Title and ownership choices shape what comes next

A title examination can identify liens, ownership defects, restrictions, and other exceptions that require attention. The way property is titled—individually, jointly, through a trust, or through an entity—may also affect estate, liability, financing, and transfer planning.

South Florida experience for local and international clients

The firm works with clients across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Monroe Counties, including foreign nationals and out-of-state owners purchasing or holding Florida property. When tax or accounting questions overlap, the firm can coordinate with the client’s other professional advisers.
