Fifteen minutes, no obligation. Bring us your contract, your lease, your loan, or your question.
As the seller, you have the right to choose who handles your closing. Many sellers assume their real estate agent makes this decision, but if you are paying for the owner’s title insurance premium, then you are in control.
In most Central Florida residential transactions the seller contractually pays the owner’s title insurance premium, which is part of why the choice is customarily yours. It is worth making deliberately. Chelsea L. Metka is board certified in Real Estate Law by The Florida Bar and handles your sale from the first offer through recording.
We represent home sellers throughout Orange and Lake Counties, including:
Counties: West Orange County | South Lake County
Cities
We handle contract negotiation, title clearing, and payoff coordination so problems surface early rather than the week of closing. You receive everything a traditional title company provides, plus a Florida board certified real estate attorney who can advise you when something needs a decision.
One thing sellers consistently underestimate is timing. You do not receive your proceeds the moment you sign. Wires are initiated, documents are recorded, and funds disburse in sequence. Knowing that in advance removes most of the anxiety from closing day.
We provide comprehensive legal support tailored specifically for sellers to identify and resolve liabilities early. Our services include:
We ensure purchase agreements align with your goals and protect you from unnecessary liability.
We order and verify mortgage payoffs, HOA estoppels, and any outstanding lien releases so your proceeds are correct at the table.
We proactively resolve simple and complex title or boundary disputes before they can delay your closing.
Oversight of all documents and funds, with title insurance issued as agent for Old Republic, Stewart, and First American.
Florida sellers have a legal duty to disclose known defects that materially affect the value of the property and are not readily observable to a buyer. Getting this wrong is the largest legal exposure most residential sellers face, and it is one of the more common reasons a closed transaction turns into a dispute months later. We review your disclosures before they go out.
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, including the title commitment, the survey, the municipal lien search, and every incoming and outgoing wire before funds are disbursed.
When a title defect, a survey issue, or a buyer demand threatens your closing date, a title company can tell you there is a problem. An attorney can tell you what your options are.
