Buying & Selling Commercial Property – FAQ
Do I need a lawyer to buy or sell commercial property in Florida?
It’s not required, but highly recommended. Commercial deals involve detailed contracts, regulatory compliance & title complexities that benefit from legal review—especially when financing or tenants are involved.
What should be included in a purchase & sale agreement?
The agreement should cover price, deposits, timelines, contingencies (inspection, zoning, financing), title requirements, property condition, and default remedies. We make sure every section is clear, accurate & enforceable.
How long does a commercial closing usually take?
Most closings take 30 to 90 days, depending on financing, due diligence needs & title clearance. We help build realistic timelines and keep things moving.
What’s the due diligence period for a commercial deal?
It varies, but 30 to 45 days is common in Florida. During this time, buyers inspect the property, review leases (if any), confirm zoning, and evaluate financials. We assist with reviewing reports and negotiating issues that arise.
Can I get out of a contract if I find something bad during due diligence?
If the contract includes proper inspection or feasibility contingencies, yes. We make sure those protections are included and clearly defined before you sign.
What if I’m selling a property with existing tenants?
We review current leases, estoppel certificates & tenant rights. These factors impact pricing and buyer obligations, so it’s important to have the documents reviewed early in the process.
Do you help coordinate closings with title companies?
Yes. We often act as both legal counsel and title agent in commercial deals, but we can also work alongside your existing title company to ensure legal accuracy and prevent last-minute issues.
What are some common deal-breakers in Florida commercial sales?
Unclear title, open code violations, zoning conflicts, environmental reports (like Phase I or II findings), or lease issues. We help spot these before they become a crisis.
