Common Situations Where Real Estate Contract Help Is Critical

Ensure Your Rights Are Protected Before You Sign or Sell Property

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.

Z

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.

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

At ASR Law Firm, we help individuals and families navigate Florida real estate contracts with confidence and clarity. Whether you’re buying, selling, leasing, or entering a private agreement, our legal team ensures your contract protects your rights and avoids costly surprises down the road.

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?
Standard forms like the FAR/BAR contract are commonly used in Florida; but they don’t fit every situation. If your deal involves unique terms, off-market property, owner financing, or complex contingencies, a customized contract drafted or reviewed by a lawyer can better protect your interests.
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?
If one party fails to meet their obligations, such as missing a closing date or not disclosing key information, the other party may pursue remedies including contract termination, retention of escrow deposits, or legal action for damages. Having clear language in your contract makes enforcement easier.
Are verbal agreements enforceable in Florida real estate deals?
Generally, no. Florida’s Statute of Frauds requires real estate contracts to be in writing and signed by all parties to be legally enforceable. Verbal promises or handshake deals may carry no legal weight, especially in property transactions. Always get it in writing, and reviewed by a qualified attorney.

Need a Real Estate Contract in Florida You Can Actually Rely On?

Whether you’re buying, selling, leasing, or entering into an off-market agreement, ASR Law Firm ensures your real estate contracts are legally sound and customized to your needs. We don’t rely on cookie-cutter templates, we draft and review contracts with precision, protecting your interests and helping you avoid costly legal disputes.
