Guest Blog: Do you need an attorney for a real estate deal?

molawoffice : April 22, 2013 6:25 pm : General, Uncategorized

I don’t need to hire a real estate attorney, do I? –

YES you do! Most real estate contracts here in South Florida for a residential property are easily more than 10 pages including attachments of fine print. I can’t tell you how many people I have talked to over the years that think their contract says one thing but it really says another. And one of those reasons for misunderstandings is simple because people did not take the time to read the contract in the first place. They just assumed for a variety of reasons that their interpretation of the contract is correct. Always be careful when you ASSUME!

A simple misunderstanding for a lot of people is calculating time periods under a contract. Many times a section in the contract will call for time periods to be calculated in business days rather than calendar days. If calculating under business days this can add another 5 days to a 10 days period in a contract or another 10 days to a thirty day period under a contract for example. Thus, someone has more time to accomplish things under a contract than you may think.

Another important matter sometimes overlooked in standard contracts is the responsibility for open permits. Unless specifically stated in a contract these provisions are buried in the inspection clauses of contracts. Thus if you do not determine as a Buyer that there are open permits timely under the inspection period to only find out later that there are open permits this can cause a big headache for you as a Buyer if the Seller is not willing to cooperate and relies on the standard contract language.

As a Seller there are numerous miscellaneous fees that can be assessed at a closing along with prorations for taxes and assessments at closing as well. Unless you are a very experienced Seller of real estate you are not going to know when these charges are reasonable and necessary. A real estate attorney will be able to actually save you money when it comes to these fees by making sure that the person/office making these charges is doing so properly.

Everyone experiences this at one point or another in life: failure. It is not some kind of diseases that only attack a few unfortunate. No, it is a common reality that hits everyone at some point in their life.

Failing in finances, marriage or work is very difficult to accept. Many associate with a general failure as a human being. Don’t be mistaken. Failures have nothing to do with your self. It is more a way life lets you know that you need to change a few habits to get to a better job the next time around. Thomas Edison failed ten thousand times before inventing the light bulb. Ford experienced four bankruptcies. There is hope.

When we fall, the most important part is to get back up. Take the time to analyze what didn’t work this time so you can succeed next time around. Never underestimate yourself and never believe you are a failure. Take the time to write all the successes you had in life. Yes, as long as there is life, there is hope.

Getting up often means taking the time to morn a loss. The broken dream, the missed goal, the time spent that resulted in a broken heart. Take that time. Remember though that you will have the opportunity to shine again and fly. It never rains forever. The night never remains past the day. One day, the sun will shine again, you will smile again, you will have other successes.

Remember, everyone has experienced hard times. You are not alone. Learn from your mistakes and agree to make a change that will assure you never to go on that path again. Write down how you would like to see your life. Breathe deep and step out into the light again.

I have helped many people in various moments of their lives and I know that sometimes, one thinks it is the end of the world. But, it is not. You need problems to become a better person. As you grow and look back, you will understand the lesson and how it helped you grow.
