Looking for a lawyer to close the deal!
 

Hi. I'm closing on a house at the end of February.Can anybody recommend a good real estate lawyer. Thanks.

Discussed to death. Try using SEARCH.

You don't need a lawyer in Florida. Closing companies can do it all themselves.

We did not use a lawyer since they are not required. Didn’t want the extra expense.

The closing company will handle the process. Hiring a lawyer would just be an additional expense and could complicate things.

Why do you need a lawyer at this stage? Do you need help on understanding the contract? Your duties under the contract. Do you want changes to the contract?
Point is if you are happy with your purchase deal you can probably go without an attorney. Do consider if you want title insurance or an inspection (which is probably covered in your current agreements)

The replies undoubtedly answered your question.

If you’re already under contract you don’t need a lawyer. If you bought with a realtor they will hold your hand thru closing. Get title insurance thru a reputable company .

Call the Morgans….. geez give the something to do besides counting their money…

I know that the State of Florida does not require a lawyer, however a house involves hundreds of thousands of dollars. I used a lawyer for the closing - Bogin, Munns and Munns. The real estate lawyer was excellent.

Lawyer -vs- Title Company
 

Answer depends on if you are buying or selling!

Who ever does the closing they will recommend you buy Title Insurance. Waste of money if you are paying cash. Does anyone really think that there are liens against this particular piece of property? When I was building and the buyers were buying a home from me and were paying cash I always told them not to spend $1,500 to $2,500 for Title Insurance because my Title Insurance Co. showed no liens on the property. If there were the bank would want those liens paid before releasing funds to build more houses. I am sure the Billionaire Morse Family is not in trouble with money. Finally, all a lawyer will do is read what the Title Companies search shows him and that is "There are no liens on this property".

No Lawyer Necessary
 

I will be more than happy to have a chat with you regarding the closing of your home as I have previous real estate experience as a closer in Ohio & also did title work. I'm now retired but have sold 2 homes on my own here & took care of the contracts, etc. I have also taken care of other friend's transactions for a small fee. Don't hesitate to let me know if you want to chat! Doreen @ iahawki78@gmail.com

Hunt Law Firm Leesberg and Wildwood are excellent and quick!

This post made me think of Bruce Williams who used to have a radio show I enjoyed listening to. He used to advise using an attorney for real estate purchases, I'm dating myself, lol.
