Fifteen minutes, no obligation. Bring us your contract, your lease, your loan, or your question.
The contract is the most important document in your real estate transaction. It is a legally binding agreement that governs your rights, obligations, and financial investment. Whether you are using a standard Florida contract or a custom agreement, we ensure the terms are in your favor and align with your specific goals. Chelsea L. Metka is board certified in Real Estate Law by The Florida Bar and reviews these agreements personally.
We review residential contracts for buyers and sellers throughout Orange and Lake Counties, including:
Counties: West Orange County | South Lake County
Cities
The best time to protect yourself is prior to signing the purchase and sale contract. Once a contract is executed, your ability to negotiate key terms or address liabilities becomes significantly limited. We review the inspection period, financing and appraisal contingencies, the closing date, who selects the closing agent, and any addenda the other side has attached, then tell you plainly what each one means for you.
We provide comprehensive drafting and negotiation services tailored to the unique needs of the residential market, including:
Expert review of the widely used Florida Realtors/Florida Bar residential contracts to ensure they are properly executed for your protection.
Drafting custom, legally sound agreements for unique transactions that do not involve traditional real estate agents.
Tailoring specific terms to address unique property issues, financing requirements, or inspection periods.
Florida contracts frequently arrive with riders attached covering HOA disclosures, financing terms, seller repairs, or as is provisions. We review what is attached, not just the base form.
Extensions, amendments, and objection letters within the contractual cure period when a title or inspection issue surfaces.
Contract review at our firm is not an administrative task. It is a specialized legal service performed by Chelsea L. Metka, who is board certified in Real Estate Law by The Florida Bar.
This matters more than most buyers realize. A real estate agent can fill out a standard form, but negotiating terms, advising you on risk, or drafting custom language crosses into the practice of law, which agents are not licensed to do. A title company can process the paperwork but cannot tell you whether the terms are good for you.
