Residential Real Estate

Boca Raton and Plantation, Florida, Residential Real Estate Lawyer

Anyone who has purchased residential real estate is aware of the multitude of laws and regulations and the complex paperwork involved in transferring property. It is critical that mortgages, title, deeds, liens, inspections, disclosures, insurance and more all be handled correctly by the closing date since there is often no opportunity to correct problems after the sale.

At the law office of Marlyn J. Wiener, P.A., we believe that buying residential real estate, whether as a home or as an investment, should not be fraught with confusion and risk regarding the legalities of the property. We can work with you either at problematic points or throughout your entire purchase process.

Some services we provide are:

• Reviewing, drafting and negotiating your contracts to ensure they reflect your wishes and understanding regarding the sale
• Ensuring due diligence has been completed for all facets of the purchase
• Facilitating relationships with lenders and inspectors
• Reviewing and issuing title insurance
• Negotiating successful resolutions when agreements and plans fail
• Protecting your rights regarding financing contingencies, sale contingencies and time frames
• Attending closings and acting as closing agent

Whether you are buying, selling or refinancing residential real estate, we can work with you to avoid and solve legal problems, protect your rights and facilitate your transactions.

Experienced Short Sale Legal Representation.

In today's struggling housing market, many individuals find themselves with property worth less than the balance of the mortgage. If you need to sell your property or are struggling with payments, a short sale offers a possible solution. In a short sale, the lender may allow a reduction of the mortgage balance and a sale of the property at a price lower than the amount owed.

We can work with you, your realtor and the buyer of your condo, townhouse or single-family home to negotiate with the lender to allow the sale and to forgive all or part of the shortfall. Short sales can blemish your credit but are considered less damaging than a foreclosure.
