Chelsea L. Metka, Esq.
Fifteen minutes, no obligation. Bring us your contract, your lease, your loan, or your question.
Whether you are a first time homebuyer, a commercial investor, a private lender, or a landlord protecting your property interests, you are working directly with a Florida Bar board certified real estate attorney. Chelsea L. Metka has spent more than a decade exclusively on transactional real estate, and every file is handled to a high standard from the first contract review through recording.
Florida does not require a real estate attorney to close on a property. Not required and not necessary are two different things.
A title commitment has multiple sections, and most title companies focus only on the closing checklist. That leaves easements, mineral rights, tenant rights, and other exceptions unexamined, and no title insurance policy covers them.
Chelsea L. Metka is board certified in Real Estate Law by The Florida Bar, a distinction held by a small fraction of Florida attorneys. She personally reviews every file at least three times between contract and closing, examining the title commitment, the survey, the municipal lien search, the HOA estoppel, and every incoming and outgoing wire before funds are disbursed.
A title agent can tell you a problem exists. An attorney can tell you what to do about it.
We handle every part of your transaction in house. Our practice areas include:
Every closing moves through four phases. Knowing what each one involves takes the mystery out of what can otherwise feel like a long wait between signing and settlement.
We review the file, confirm the contract matches the current status of title, and open the transaction.
Once the title commitment comes back, the bulk of the work begins. Payoffs, estoppels, lien searches, and surveys are ordered and cleared.
Figures are finalized with the lender, documents are prepared, and the parties sign.
Wires are initiated, checks are issued, documents are recorded, and title policies are issued and mailed.
