You might think of it this way...Your home is likely your biggest investment and protecting that investment with one of the brightest real estate attorneys in Florida will cost you about $500. In the scheme of your investment, this is a small price to pay for the protection and peace of mind you will gain.

A real estate attorney provides another level of professional protection. Their knowledge of real estate law is greater than that of real estate agents and title companies. Lenders' (bank or financial institution) closing agents or closing attorneys have already reviewed all the closing documents to ensure they meet all of the bank's and secondary market's loan criteria but lenders have different principals than the borrower. They represent the mortgage holder. Your own attorney represents just you.

If there is a title issue to resolve, the attorney will be better suited to properly handle the problem. Board Certified Real Estate Attorneys ensure the title is merchantable through the issuance of title policies. Title insurance is a must. Even if you pay cash for your property, the title is the only evidence of ownership besides possession. Real estate attorneys review the history of the title called the ‘chain’ and in turn, pass on to you an insurance policy that guarantees its merchantability (salability).
