Attorney for South Florida Real Estate Transactions
Residential Real Estate | Commercial Real Estate | Investment Property
At the Law Office of Kimberly A. Abrams & Associates, P.A., in Hollywood, Florida, we focus entirely on transactional real estate law. Since 2000, we have been providing buyers, sellers, borrowers, and lenders/investors with legal advice and representation in matters ranging from for sale by owner (FSBO) transactions, sale/purchase and refinance closings, title insurance, title/lien searches, and the drafting of real estate documents.
Residential and Commercial Real Estate Closings: Our closing services include legal help with all aspects of a real estate transaction. We handle closings on real estate sales/purchases and refinances — even those that occur after hours, off-site, or by mail. We represent buyers, borrowers, and sellers.
For home, investment property, rental property, or commercial buyers, we can facilitate the closing, serve as your legal advocate, or both. When representing a seller, we act as a liaison between our client and the closing agent. We can draft the land contract, arrange for inspections, and provide documentation or any other relevant information to complete a closing successfully. We also advise and represent FSBO sellers during closing.
For Sale By Owner (FSBO) Transactions: Selling your house without a real estate agent has advantages and disadvantages. Even though you may be saving the cost of a commission with an FSBO sale, you still need an experienced legal professional to guide you through the more complex aspects of your real estate transaction so that your interests are fully protected.
Drafting Real Estate Documents: We draft or review purchase and sale agreements, residential and commercial lease agreements quit claim deeds, warranty deeds, financing documents, 1031 exchanges, and any and all other related real estate contracts and documents. From the creation of those vital documents to the final closing, you can benefit from our extensive experience.
Underwriting Services: In addition to transactional matters and closing issues, we also provide title insurance underwriting services through the Old Republic National Title and the Attorneys' Title Insurance Fund. Old Republic National Title is one of the oldest and largest national title insurance underwriters and it consistently earns honors as one of the highest rated title insurers in the United States by Standard & Poor’s, Duff & Phelps, Moody’s, A.M. Best Co., LACE Financial and Demotech. Attorney’s Title Insurance Fund is the nation's first bar-related® title insurance underwriter. The Fund has been providing extensive support for the real estate practices of Florida attorneys since 1948. The Fund is one of the leading title insurance underwriters in Florida and the sixth largest in the country.
Title Work: We pride ourselves on our attention to detail when it comes to title work. Our experienced underwriters perform thorough searches to expose any outstanding liens or problems related to the chain of title so that you are assured of clear title.
