Residential Real Estate

Commercial Real Estate

Purchasing or selling a home is likely one of the largest financial transactions of an individual’s life. Retaining a competent real estate attorney at the earliest point possible can greatly assist in navigating the process and reduce any anxiety or stress.

Our firm represents its clients in all aspects of a residential transaction. Knowing that a closing is a cooperative effort, our experienced team of attorneys and staff work closely with buyers, sellers, realtors and lenders. We stay on top of all aspects of a transaction to ensure that our client is properly represented, and that the closing occurs timely and smoothly. We keep our clients updated and are always accessible to answer questions.
 
Our services include, but are not limited to the following:
  • Contract preparation, review and negotiation
  • Examination of title to assure no title defects or issues exist
  • Interaction with realtors and lenders
  • Preparation of required closing documents
  • Ordering and reviewing surveys to confirm no problematic encroachments exist
  • Ordering municipal lien and code violation reports to determine whether open/expired permits exist
  • Assistance with resolving any issues that arise during the process
  • Review and explanation of all closing documentation
  • Attending closing and assisting in all aspects of the closing
  • Acting as title and closing agent
With over 66 years of combined experience in handling real estate transactions, we have the knowledge and ability to assist with virtually any issue that may arise in a transaction, so that our client is properly protected through the closing process.

As complicated and involved as residential real estate deals are, commercial transactions are exponentially more complex.  Every deal is unique, and as a result, the use of a printed form contract is usually not recommended.  Whether the deal involves a shopping center, an office building, an apartment complex, a warehouse project, a hotel, vacant land or an industrial facility, having our firm on your team will bring you peace of mind.

Our attorneys at Bennis & Perloff, P.A., are skilled at negotiating these types of contracts, and helping navigate through the feasibility study period, financing issues and estoppels.  We derive great satisfaction from closing each commercial transaction, with its own complications and intricacies.

Our firm also handles tax-deferred like kind exchanges under §1031 of the Internal Revenue Code for both buyers and sellers, to reduce overall income tax liability.  Further, our team is familiar with the statutes and promulgated rules relating to Florida’s documentary stamp tax and intangible tax, to ensure that these taxes are not overpaid.
