What Are the Benefits of Hiring an Attorney for Your Florida Real Estate Contract?
Get Legal Clarity, Contract Protection, and Peace of Mind Before You Sign
Ensure Legally Binding Terms
Poorly written contracts can be vague or unenforceable. We ensure your agreement is clear, comprehensive, and fully enforceable in Florida courts.
Protect Your Rights as Buyer or Seller
Every clause matters. We protect your interests whether you’re buying or selling, and make sure you’re not agreeing to risky or one-sided terms.
Spot Hidden Risks and Red Flags
From ambiguous language to surprise contingencies, we identify problem areas before they become costly mistakes.
Customize Clauses to Fit Your Needs
We tailor inspection periods, financing terms, repair requests, addenda, and more, ensuring the deal works for you, not just the template.
Avoid Costly Contract Disputes
Misunderstandings often lead to litigation. Clear contracts reduce conflict and keep transactions on track.
Get Independent Legal Advice
Realtors and title agents can’t give legal guidance. We represent you, not the transaction.
Negotiate Better Terms with Confidence
Whether it’s price, timelines, or repairs, we help you negotiate from a position of knowledge and strength.
Stay Compliant with Florida Real Estate Law
Real estate laws and disclosure requirements vary by state. We ensure your contract complies with Florida statutes and protects you fully.
Common Situations Where Real Estate Contract Help Is Critical
Many Florida buyers and sellers mistakenly believe real estate contracts are “standard” and don’t need legal review, but that’s exactly where costly mistakes are made.
From inspection periods and repair obligations to financing clauses and addenda, every word matters. Whether you’re signing a Florida FAR/BAR contract or drafting a custom agreement, having a real estate attorney on your side helps protect your rights, reduce risk, and ensure your transaction proceeds smoothly.
At ASR Law Firm, we provide trusted contract guidance for a wide range of residential and investment real estate scenarios. Below are some of the most common situations where clients rely on our legal team to draft, review, or negotiate contracts with clarity and confidence.
Buying a Home in Florida
Ensure the contract terms align with your inspection timeline, financing conditions, and closing expectations. We review or draft purchase agreements to protect your investment.
Selling a Property You Own
We help sellers minimize liability, structure clean exit terms, and ensure you’re not left on the hook for repairs or post-sale disputes.
Signing a FAR/BAR “Standard” Contract
These forms are commonly used by realtors, but they’re not one-size-fits-all. We help you understand what’s missing, what’s risky, and what should be customized.
Entering a Lease-to-Own or Option Agreement
We help structure or review these more complex deals to ensure legal enforceability and clarity around ownership rights.
Purchasing or Selling Investment Property
Contracts for rental properties, flips, or short-term rentals often require additional terms around tenants, disclosures, and timelines. We help you get it right.
Co-Buying Real Estate with Friends or Family
Whether buying jointly or with unequal contributions, we create custom ownership and exit agreements to protect everyone involved.
Real Estate Transactions Without a Realtor
If you’re buying or selling property off-market or between individuals, you need a real estate attorney to ensure the contract is valid, binding, and fully protective.
Fixing a Problem Contract or Dispute
Already signed something that doesn’t feel right? We review and advise on options for canceling, renegotiating, or enforcing your rights.

A poorly written or misunderstood contract can lead to failed deals, unexpected liabilities, or even legal disputes.

What Our Client Say About Us
Keith A.
I’ve worked with Anila and ASR Law Firm on numerous occasions and in every instance, Anila was courteous, professional and very thorough in explaining the steps to do the things I was asking. She responded in a prompt matter to all my questions and concerns and has helped me find professional solutions for each of my unique requests.
Regla R.
I have been working with Anila for many years. In real estate, not all transactions are cut and dry, but Anila’s ability to use her expertise to resolve any issues that come up and give the parties the best experience possible is incredible. I highly recommend ASR Law for all your real estate and estate planning needs.
Ivan K.
From the start to the end of the interaction Anila was very professional, transparent and straightforward. She enabled us to complete the transaction remotely (from Canada) and looked after our interests during all aspects of the transaction, communicating directly with the other party’s lawyer. We would use Anila’s services again.
Questions About Real Estate Contracts in Florida
These commonly asked questions can help you better understand what to expect, and why it’s critical to have a legally sound agreement in place.
What is a real estate contract, and why is it important in Florida?
A real estate contract is a legally binding agreement between parties involved in buying, selling, or leasing property. In Florida, these contracts must meet specific requirements to be enforceable, including clear terms, legal capacity, and proper signatures. A well-drafted contract protects both parties, clarifies responsibilities, and reduces the risk of disputes down the road.
Do I need a lawyer to draft or review my Florida real estate contract?
While Florida allows non-lawyers to prepare certain real estate documents, working with an attorney ensures your contract is legally sound, personalized to your situation, and compliant with state laws. An experienced attorney can spot red flags, negotiate stronger terms, and help prevent expensive legal issues later.
Can I use a standard contract form, or should it be customized?
What are the most common mistakes people make with real estate contracts?
Some of the biggest missteps include vague terms, missing deadlines, incomplete disclosures, unaddressed contingencies, and failing to clarify what’s included in the sale. These mistakes can lead to delays, disputes, or even lawsuits. Legal review ensures these issues are caught before you sign.
How can I legally cancel a real estate contract in Florida?
Cancellation depends on the terms of your agreement. Most contracts include contingency periods (for financing, inspections, etc.) during which either party can withdraw without penalty. Outside those windows, canceling may expose you to legal consequences. We can help you understand your rights before making any moves.
What happens if one party breaches the terms of the agreement?
Are verbal agreements enforceable in Florida real estate deals?
