Serving As Your Legal Representative During Your Closing
Generally, although the rules in Florida differ by county, whoever pays for the title insurance selects the closing agent. Though legal representation is always important, if you are in a county where the seller selects the closing agent, it is imperative that the buyer be represented and protected by his/her own attorney. Kimberly A. Abrams, Esq., will put her extensive experience to work for you with real estate contract and closing document preparation, negotiation and review, and title and lien search examination, and is always ready and available to explain the process and any unfamiliar terms.
