  1. Legal Complexities in Real Estate Transactions
  • Contracts: Misinterpreting terms or missing key clauses can lead to disputes.
  • Disclosures: Failure to comply with Florida’s disclosure laws can result in legal penalties.
  • Title Issues: Without a proper title search, buyers risk purchasing properties with hidden defects.

 

  1. Common Pitfalls of DIY Transactions
  • Inadequate Documentation: Missing or incorrect paperwork can delay closings or nullify agreements.
  • Overlooked Contingencies: DIY transactions often lack contingencies for financing or inspections.
  • Legal Disputes: Errors can lead to costly litigation.

 

  1. How an Attorney Adds Value
