Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is legal representation required to sell property in Florida?
No—but a lawyer protects you from contract, title, and disclosure pitfalls that could cost much more long term.

Title defects, unclear disclosures, or improperly drafted contracts can lead to legal exposure—even after closing.

Can I sell remotely if I’m out of state?

What if a buyer backs out last minute?
Depending on contract terms, we can enforce performance, seek damages, or help you find a new buyer quickly.
