Residential Real Estate Services
We review purchase & sale agreements, explain the terms in plain English, and suggest changes that protect your interests—especially around deadlines, deposits & inspection rights.
We handle the title search, escrow, final paperwork & funding to make sure the deal closes smoothly and on time—whether in-office, remote, or mail-away.
We review loan documents, communicate with your lender, and issue owner & lender title policies. We also confirm wire details and protect against fraud.

Residential Real Estate – Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a lawyer to buy or sell a home in Florida?
It’s not required—but highly recommended. A lawyer can review your contract, protect your deposit, and help resolve issues before they delay or derail your closing.
What’s the difference between using a title company and a law firm for closing?
Title companies handle the paperwork, but can’t give legal advice. A law firm can do both—manage the title & closing and explain your rights if something goes wrong.
How much does it cost to hire a real estate lawyer in Florida?
We offer flat fees for most residential closings and contract reviews. Contact us for a quote—it’s usually far less than the cost of fixing a mistake after closing.
Can I hire you even if I already have a realtor?
Absolutely. We often work alongside realtors to provide legal backup, review contracts, and help with inspection issues or unusual terms.
What’s included in a residential closing service?
We handle the title search, escrow, settlement statement, loan coordination, deed preparation, and post-closing tasks like recording and issuing title insurance.
Can you help with a remote or out-of-state closing?
Yes. We regularly work with clients across the country who are buying or selling Florida property. We’ll guide you through every step and offer secure digital options.
What if the buyer or seller wants to back out?
It depends on what your contract says. We’ll review it quickly and help you understand your rights, deadlines, and potential outcomes.
