Closing in Florida can occur with a Title Company or an Attorney. While you do not have to use an attorney in a Florida real estate closing, the basis of the transaction is the contract, which is a legal document setting forth the parties' rights and obligations. Keep in mind that title companies are not able to provide legal advice relating to your rights and obligations under the contract (they simply close the transaction).
In Collier County, the Naples Board of Realtors (NABOR) Contract is the most
common contract utilized. The NABOR contract indicates that the Buyer
chooses the Closing Agent and pays for the Title Insurance. As a Seller,
you may elect to use the same Closing Agent for the preparation of your Seller
closing documents, or you may elect to hire your own attorney. Many of our
customers are accustomed to having an attorney handle their real estate
transactions and this is often an ideal choice for representation as you have
legal guidance should any issues arise in the sales process.
We have provided a list of Attorneys that we work with regularly.
Each has their own set of fees, and you may choose to contact them for a
current quote in advance of writing an offer (or for Sellers - prior to receiving an offer on your property). The general range is $750 - 1,250, but could differ depending on the transaction details.
