At St. Johns Law Group, we provide experienced legal representation to businesses, developers, investors, and entrepreneurs purchasing commercial real estate throughout St. Augustine and Northeast Florida.

10+ Attorneys and 250+ Years of Combined Legal Experience

Buying commercial property involves complex negotiations, due diligence, contract terms, zoning issues, and financial risk. Our role is to ensure that your purchase is legally sound, your interests are protected, and the transaction closes smoothly and efficiently.

Why You Need a Commercial Buyer Representation Attorney

Unlike residential transactions, commercial real estate purchases typically involve:

Negotiated terms rather than standardized contracts
Environmental and zoning compliance
Title complications or survey exceptions
Long-term business planning tied to land use and regulatory concerns
Complex due diligence periods and contingencies
Structuring for entities, financing, and potential leases or buildouts

Our attorneys handle every legal aspect of the transaction so that you can focus on your investment strategy. We review, negotiate, and draft contracts; analyze title and survey reports; identify red flags; and represent your interests at closing and beyond.

Legal Services for Commercial Property Buyers

Our commercial real estate buyer representation includes:

Contract Drafting and Negotiation

We draft or negotiate purchase and sale agreements that protect your business objectives, clearly define contingencies, and provide remedies in the event of breach.

Title Review and Due Diligence

We examine title reports, identify encumbrances or restrictions, and address easements, liens, and boundary issues. We also coordinate due diligence for:

Zoning and land use approvals
Environmental assessments (Phase I and Phase II)
Permitting, code enforcement, and utility access
Survey and ALTA/NSPS compliance
Lease agreements or tenant estoppel certificates for income-producing properties

Entity Structuring and Compliance

Our attorneys assist with forming or using business entities (LLCs, corporations, partnerships) to acquire the property, ensuring your transaction is properly structured for tax and liability purposes.

Closing and Post-Closing Legal Support

We coordinate with title companies, lenders, and agents to ensure all documentation is accurate and complete. We also prepare deeds, escrow instructions, closing statements, and post-closing agreements.
