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.
