The Issues We See Most in Central Florida Purchases

Whether you are a first time homebuyer or an experienced investor, the risks in a Florida purchase are specific and local. Unrecorded easements, open permits, HOA estoppel delays, survey encroachments, and CDD assessments in newer Stonybrook and Horizon West communities all surface regularly here, and each one is easier to handle before closing than after.

A title commitment has multiple sections, and most title companies focus only on the closing checklist. That leaves easements, mineral rights, and tenant rights unexamined, and no title insurance policy covers them.

Why Hire an Attorney When Buying?

Real estate transactions are legally binding and often complex. From reviewing contracts to identifying hidden risks, an experienced home buying lawyer helps protect your interests at every stage.

We ensure:

  • Contract review before you sign, including inspection periods, financing contingencies, and any addenda the seller has attached
  • Title examination and clearing, so liens, unreleased mortgages, and boundary issues are resolved before closing rather than discovered at the table
  • Disbursement authority held on your behalf, meaning your funds are not released until the closing documents have been reviewed and approved

Why Choose Us?

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.
