Broward County Florida Real Estate Lawyer

Why should you hire a real estate attorney?

Real estate transactions, from the purchase or sale of your home to refinancing your mortgage, are likely to be the largest investments and most complicated transactions that you will enter into. Real estate contracts are legally binding agreements and are the most important element of any real estate transaction.

An attorney can represent your interests in all types of real estate transactions. Real estate agents aren't always looking out for your best interests. Their primary responsibility is to sell your house or help you purchase a new home. The title company's main responsibility is to close the transaction and issue title policies. The advice and guidance of an attorney is beneficial to both buyers and sellers. The Law Offices of Robert D. Schwartz, P.A. are able to offer you the services of an attorney in your real estate transactions for only $375 for the buyer and $475 for the seller. With an attorney representing you in the transaction, you gain valuable peace of mind.

Buyers in Florida

A real estate attorney can answer many of the questions that arise in real estate transactions and ensure that your rights as a buyer are enforced. An attorney can assist you with matters such as:

  • Review and/or preparation of the real estate contract to ensure your rights are protected.
  • Explaining and exploring alternative means of financing –– including seller financing, private lenders and lease options.
  • Advisement on how title should be taken, whether in joint names, a trust or a corporation.
  • Preparation and explanation of all documents that will be signed at closing
  • Liability in cases of property damage before closing, especially in hurricane-ravaged Florida.

Sellers in Florida

Here are some of the things an attorney can assist sellers with in the home buying transaction:

  • Review and/or preparation of the real estate contract to ensure your rights are protected.
  • Preparation of closing documents
  • Dealing with brokers –– commissions, contracts, listings, etc.
  • Answer questions regarding tax consequences of a sale
  • Explanation of contracts

Foreclosure Defense

Many people are in an unfortunate position with regard to their homes and investment properties. They are either upside down on their real estate investments or can no longer afford their mortgage payments. We have met with numerous clients to help them discuss their different mortgage options. If needed, we can represent you during the foreclosure process, see if there are any possible defenses to the foreclosure and hopefully have the bank waive their rights in attacking your other assets after the foreclosure. Please call our office if you have any of these concerns.
