We support sellers from listing to closing, whether or not a real estate agent is involved. That starts with reviewing the listing agreement to confirm key terms are fair and clearly stated. We also help assess the accuracy and legal appropriateness of MLS language, public remarks, and property disclosures to prevent misrepresentation issues down the line. Throughout the transaction, we’re available to answer legal questions, explain documents, and coordinate with other parties to keep things moving. Our goal is to ensure you know what to expect, what’s required of you, and how to protect your position at each step.

We help you get ahead of the issues that often disrupt closings. That includes ordering a pre-contract title search to flag liens, probate concerns, or ownership complications before the property goes under contract. We also walk through what typically comes up in inspection reports, advise you on how to prepare for common repair demands or lender objections, and make sure any known concerns are properly disclosed and documented. By addressing these items proactively, you avoid last-minute surprises and position your sale for a smoother closing.

We negotiate the legal terms of the contract to protect your rights and minimize exposure. That means clarifying or modifying default terms that don’t reflect your intentions, tightening vague language, and identifying provisions that may carry more risk than they appear to. Once the contract is signed, we help track deadlines, ensure notice and performance requirements are met, and advise if the buyer misses a deadline or tries to cancel improperly. We’re also available to handle deposit disputes, repair disagreements, and other issues that may arise during the contingency period or pre-closing stage.

When we represent the seller, we also handle the closing process directly—which eliminates duplication, reduces communication gaps, and gives you a single point of contact from start to finish. This makes the transaction more efficient and helps avoid last-minute surprises. For sellers without an agent, we also provide guidance on commission-related matters, including how to respond to buyer agent compensation demands, how to document agreements properly, and how to ensure commissions are accurately reflected in the final numbers. Whether or not a Realtor is involved, we make sure your side of the closing is handled thoroughly and with minimal disruption to your schedule.

We represent buyers directly—whether or not you have a real estate agent—to make sure you know exactly what you're agreeing to before the contract is signed. We help you understand your rights and obligations under the proposed terms and make sure the contract is properly drafted or revised to reflect your interests. That includes issues like financing, closing timelines, title concerns, occupancy terms, inspection rights, and walk-throughs. We flag vague, one-sided, or risky language and help you make informed decisions before you're legally bound.

Many buyer issues start before the offer is even accepted. We help you spot red flags early, from problematic property disclosures to confusing HOA rules, surprise easements, or inspection dealbreakers. If there are risks tied to a seller's estate, trust, divorce, or probate status, we catch those early and explain how they affect the transaction. We also help assess seller-proposed documents like as-is addenda, repair agreements, and occupancy arrangements so you don’t accept terms that put you at a disadvantage.

We advise on a wide range of practical and legal concerns that affect buyers beyond the contract itself. This includes navigating appraisal issues, understanding how survey results or title exceptions impact your plans, evaluating property restrictions, and clarifying how deadlines and contingencies should be handled. Whether it’s a first-time home or an investment property, we focus on giving you clear, real-world guidance tailored to the deal in front of you.

While we don’t serve as the closing agent, we stay involved through the final stage by reviewing the real estate closing documents to ensure they match your contract and expectations. We confirm title-related matters have been resolved, flag errors or inconsistencies, and remain available to address last-minute concerns before you sign. We can also advise on walk-through disputes, occupancy timing, and what to do if something isn’t right on closing day.

We help homeowners navigate the realities of living within a homeowners’ association—from reviewing governing documents before you move in to interpreting unclear restrictions once you’re there. Whether you’re dealing with a compliance notice, proposed amendment, special assessment, or dispute with the board, we explain what the documents actually say and what options you have. We also assist with neighbor complaints, architectural change requests, and enforcement issues that affect your use of the property.

Homeowners routinely sign contracts for services like solar panels, roofing, pool installation, or home security without fully understanding what they’re agreeing to. We review those documents before you commit—identifying key terms like cancellation rights, financing or lease obligations, warranty limits, and service exclusions. With solar, we make sure you understand whether you’re leasing, buying, or financing the equipment and how it could affect resale, insurance, and your roof. We help you avoid one-sided terms and long-term surprises.

When issues arise with adjacent properties—whether it’s a fence on the wrong side of the line, shared driveway concerns, or encroaching structures—we help you understand your rights and options. We review surveys, deeds, and relevant documents, explain how Florida law applies, and advise on practical next steps. We also assist with nuisance complaints, water drainage conflicts, and easement misunderstandings, giving you legal clarity before things escalate.

If you’re refinancing, we can handle the entire closing process—coordinating with your lender, reviewing and preparing all required documents, and ensuring the terms match what you were promised. We confirm that title and ownership issues are clean, payoff statements are accurate, and funds are properly disbursed. We also explain your new loan documents in plain language and answer any last-minute questions so you can close efficiently and with confidence.

We draft and review internal agreements that support your brokerage operations—such as independent contractor agreements, team lead agreements, and policy manuals. These documents address compensation, lead ownership, marketing standards, transaction oversight, and license law compliance. We tailor each agreement to reflect your brokerage’s structure and expectations, minimizing risk and establishing clear boundaries that hold up under scrutiny.

When your agents hit legal roadblocks in active deals—such as contract disputes, addenda revisions, early occupancy, inspection issues, or commission problems—we provide real-time guidance to help protect the brokerage and move the transaction forward. Whether it’s advising on how to handle a contract gone sideways or interpreting a confusing term, we’re available as a behind-the-scenes legal resource you can rely on when timing matters.

We assist with forming new brokerages or reconfiguring existing ones, including entity formation, DBA filings, corporate governance documents, and licensing compliance.

Our goal is to build a solid legal foundation that supports growth and regulatory compliance.

We help brokerages draft and maintain customer-facing disclosures, buyer/seller info sheets, referral forms, and educational materials that align with Florida law and local practice. These documents are designed to help agents communicate clearly, avoid misunderstandings, and reduce liability. We tailor the content to reflect your firm’s approach while ensuring that your messaging stays compliant, professional, and practical in the field.

We assist agents and their customers with reviewing and preparing purchase contracts, addenda, counteroffers, and related documents. Whether a buyer needs help understanding the impact of a financing contingency or a seller is unsure about post-inspection negotiations, we step in to provide attorney-level clarity so agents can stay focused on the transaction. We also handle custom addenda requests that go beyond standard forms and help structure cleaner offers and responses in complex deal scenarios.

We prepare and review pre- and post-closing occupancy agreements, ensuring terms are clearly written and legally enforceable—whether the buyer is moving in early or the seller is staying post-closing.

Agents trust us to step in when these high-stakes matters need careful legal handling.

We offer agents real-world guidance on best practices for limiting risk, including how to document key conversations, navigate problematic buyer or seller behavior, and avoid claims related to disclosure or misrepresentation. We help agents identify when a situation calls for legal input, and we’re available to consult on matters that may expose the agent or brokerage to unnecessary liability.

When a deal involves seller financing, we prepare the legal documents that turn informal agreements into enforceable contracts. This includes promissory notes, mortgages, security agreements, and financing disclosures, tailored to the deal and fully compliant with Florida law. We also advise on how terms should be structured to protect both parties and avoid common pitfalls that arise when documents are pulled from templates or not reviewed by counsel.

We help investors structure offers that reflect not only what’s legally required—but what’s strategically smart. That means reviewing or revising purchase contracts with attention to inspection timelines, tenant-related contingencies, financing structures, and occupancy terms that align with your investment plan. We flag hidden risks, ensure your rights are protected if the deal turns, and offer straightforward guidance on how to make your offer enforceable and clean.

We assist with reviewing title reports, surveys, and disclosure documents to uncover issues that could affect long-term value—like zoning limitations, easements, access concerns, or tenant disputes. If the property is occupied, we help review lease agreements and assess legal compliance. We also coordinate with title agents to resolve issues quickly and ensure that closing won’t be held up by preventable complications.

We assist with forming LLCs or other holding entities, preparing operating agreements, and structuring ownership in a way that supports your liability and asset protection goals. We also help with DBA filings, registered agent setup, and clarify how title should be held for clean post-closing administration. For repeat investors, we streamline the process and ensure your entity structure stays aligned with your broader investment strategy.

For investor transactions, we review closing documents, confirm deal terms, and handle any addenda needed to finalize early possession, leaseback arrangements, or deferred occupancy. If you're planning a flip, short-term rental, or delayed renovation, we help draft and review the agreements that protect your timeline and avoid misunderstandings. Our role is to make sure the closing reflects the investment you intended—not just what was printed in the offer.

We draft and review Property Management Agreements (PMAs) tailored to the way you actually do business. That includes defining the scope of authority, compensation structure, maintenance responsibilities, and legal protections that are often missing from standard templates. We ensure your agreement complies with Florida law, protects your interests, and clearly allocates risk between you and the property owner—reducing the chance of future disputes or misunderstandings.

We prepare residential lease agreements designed for use across your managed properties, ensuring they comply with Florida law and reflect your specific preferences and policies. We also draft and refine property-specific addenda for issues like waterfront access, wildlife encounters, guest restrictions, short-term rental limits, and association rules. Whether you're managing a single rental or a portfolio, we help you maintain consistency while accounting for the unique features of each property.

We provide legal guidance when tenant issues escalate—whether it’s nonpayment, property damage, unauthorized occupants, or habitability complaints. We help you assess the enforceability of lease terms, respond within the law, and manage difficult tenants while minimizing risk. If litigation becomes necessary, we assist with proper documentation and referral to appropriate counsel if court filing is required. Our goal is to protect your business without unnecessarily inflaming the situation.

We help property managers understand and navigate the legal impact of HOA and condominium association rules, including leasing restrictions, approval procedures, notice requirements, and assessment disputes. When managing units within an association-governed community, we help ensure that both your obligations and your owners’ rights are respected. We also assist with interpreting and responding to board communications and enforcement notices that affect your management operations.

Many leases—especially for commercial spaces—are presented as “standard,” but the language can often be negotiated or clarified. We help tenants negotiate terms related to build-out allowances, free rent periods, personal guarantees, renewal and expansion options, exclusive use clauses, early termination, and more. For residential tenants, we help with clarifying ambiguous language, adjusting terms when renting from private landlords, and protecting tenant rights during informal rental arrangements.

When issues arise mid-lease—whether it’s a maintenance delay, landlord access dispute, disruption to your operations, or ongoing code or habitability problems—we help you evaluate your options and respond appropriately. For commercial tenants, we address concerns like HVAC obligations, build-out promises, or interference with business use. For residential tenants, we clarify your rights under Florida landlord-tenant law and provide practical steps for asserting them without escalating unnecessarily.

If you're looking to sublet or assign your lease, or if your landlord objects to a proposed subtenant, we advise on what’s allowed under your lease and Florida law. We help draft or review sublease agreements, assignment documents, and landlord consent forms to ensure your rights are protected and you don’t remain liable after handing over the space.

When a lease is nearing the end of its term, we help with reviewing renewal terms, negotiating extensions, or structuring a clean exit. We also provide guidance on early termination clauses, buyout agreements, and liability releases to help tenants reduce financial exposure when making transitions.

We prepare residential and commercial lease agreements that reflect your specific terms—not just generic templates. That includes clear provisions for rent, deposits, renewals, default, permitted use, subleasing, and early termination, along with addenda addressing unique property features or association rules. Each lease is structured to protect your interests and comply with Florida law.

When a tenant violates the lease—through nonpayment, misuse of the property, or breach of other terms—we advise on how to respond lawfully and effectively. We assist with notice preparation, evaluating whether grounds exist for termination, and avoiding missteps that could result in waived rights or legal exposure.
