Why pay more for legal protection?

For many transactions, we offer Real Estate Seller Representation with no added attorney fees when we handle the closing and write title. We provide:

• Legal guidance from start to finish
• Title and escrow services
• Rates competitive with title companies
• Personalized service by attorneys—not just closing processors and title agents

Why Legal Representation for Sellers Matters

Without proper legal guidance, sellers may unknowingly misrepresent property conditions, mishandle disclosure forms, or agree to unfavorable terms. Our role as seller representation attorneys is to minimize legal risk and help you meet all contractual obligations without unnecessary stress.

When you engage our firm, we help ensure:

• The sales contract reflects favorable and enforceable terms

• Your required disclosures comply with Florida law

• All title and lien issues are resolved before closing

• Escrow instructions are clear and properly executed

• Legal risks are minimized at every stage of the sale

We Review Contracts—Often for Free

Got a proposed sales contract from a buyer’s agent or broker? Let us review it—often at no cost if we’re handling your closing, as title agent.

We regularly review and revise:

• FAR/BAR Contracts
• Residential & Commercial Agreements
• Broker/Agent-prepared Forms
• Addenda and Amendments

Our attorneys have reviewed hundreds of real estate contracts. We can help ensure you’re fully protected and that your interests are reflected in every term of the deal.
