If you are making any real estate deals, you shouldn’t be handling that on your own. Whether you are making the transaction for yourself or your business, there are many pitfalls that absolutely need to be avoided when you’re signing a contract or making a big investment. A Florida real estate lawyer can help you avoid those pitfalls and ensure that you know exactly what you are getting out of a deal.
Why Should I Have a Lawyer’s Help When I Make Real Estate Deals?
Real estate deals can be quite complex. Even if you know the market and you do your due diligence, it’s still easy to overlook small problems that could end up becoming big and expensive liabilities later. You are not forced to hire a lawyer when making real estate deals, but whether you’re talking about buying an entire building or renting a small space, having a lawyer help you make such deals is in your best interest.
What Can a Lawyer Do to Assist Me?
A lawyer can help you out with any real estate deals you make in a few ways. They can:
- Help you negotiate more favorable terms
- Review any contracts before they get signed
- Make you aware of how local legislation and laws could affect the deal
- Ensure that you stay in compliance with local, state, and federal laws
- Identify potential liabilities in any contract or deal
- Perform a review of the property and identify any legal issues, like liens
- Help you explore financing options
- Offer you advice about how real estate deals could affect your taxes
What If I Have Partners in a Deal and They Already Have Lawyers?
If you have partners in a real estate deal and they have already had their own lawyers look over things, do you really need a lawyer of your own? Yes. This is one situation where you should definitely hire a lawyer. You need someone who is looking out for your best interests. Your partners’ lawyers represent them, not you.
Even if you trust your partners completely, it’s a good idea to have a lawyer of your own to look over a deal and make sure that anything that could adversely affect you is not overlooked. It’s also smart to keep in mind that some deals end poorly. If your partners become litigious, having a lawyer and being well-prepared can help you protect yourself.
