Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need an attorney if I have a real estate agent?
While a real estate agent is vital for marketing and negotiation, only an attorney can provide legal advice, draft legal documents, and protect your legal rights. An attorney represents your interests exclusively, which is crucial in a complex transaction.
What is title insurance and why is it important?
Title insurance is a policy that protects you from financial loss due to defects in the property's title (e.g., liens, unresolved ownership claims, or fraud). It is a one-time purchase that provides peace of mind and protection for as long as you own the property.
What are the typical closing costs in Florida?
Closing costs can vary but typically include attorney's fees, title insurance, recording fees, and property taxes. During our consultation, we can provide you with a detailed estimate of the costs you can expect for your specific transaction.
