Areas of Practice
Real Estate
Too frequently, clients deal with sales agents, make decisions, borrow money, and sign documents without discussing the full breadth of what is involved with a Florida real estate lawyer. Because real estate transactions often follow a standardized format using preprinted forms, clients often underestimate the value of the service a lawyer can provide. The lawyers at Bret Jones, P.A. have over a decade of experience handling real estate and real property matters. We use that experience to provide value to our clients and, many times, find that we have been able to anticipate and avoid issues that would very likely have caused problems for our clients in the future.
A real estate transaction usually involves a number of specialists, such as real estate sales agents and brokers, title insurance companies, surveyors, lenders, appraisers, and sometimes architects, developers, and contractors. Each of these has an interest in seeing the transaction close so that they can get paid. Their interest reaches only to the point to which they are protected, not to which you are protected. The only person involved primarily to protect the client's best interest is the lawyer. It is important to make sure that, when dealing with any real property or real estate issues, that you know your options, understand how Florida law applies to your specific circumstance, and have someone whose job is to look out for your interests.
