Real Estate Closings

Closing Agent

The purchase or sale of residential or commercial real estate is an important transaction with many legal implications. The last and most important step in a real estate transaction is the real estate closing.

Once you have identified the piece of property you desire to purchase, or selling a piece of property, your next step should be to find a closing agent to help you complete the process. It is a good idea to engage the services of an experienced real estate attorney who will owe a fiduciary duty to ensure that your interests are adequately protected during the closing process. An Attorney will be familiar with local laws, tax issues and other legal issues that may arise related to the purchase and sale of property. You can expect a Florida real estate attorney to assist you with the following tasks during the closing of your real property:

Contract review, negotiation and preparation;
Ordering property lien searches and review;
Ordering and reviewing of a property Survey to determine if there any easements or encroachments for the property and the impact to value if either exists;
Procuring of Title Insurance and examining the chain of title to the property to determine if there are any clouds on the title;
Request payoff(s) of Seller’s mortgage(s) and obtaining short sale authorization letters;
Review and preparation of property Affidavits, including Lien Affidavits, Continuous Marriage Affidavits, Homestead Affidavits, Non-Identification Affidavits, Arms-Length Transaction Affidavits, Non-Taxable Certificates and more;
Loan/ Mortgage approval and consultation relating to loan programs and terms
Dispute Resolutions;
Environmental and remediation consultation;
HOA and Condominium Estoppel requests and issues related thereto.
