Experienced Representation In For Sale By Owner Transactions In South Florida

For Sale By Owner (FSBO) transactions are a financially attractive option for sellers seeking to maximize the profit they receive when they sell their property. Removing realtors from the transaction allows sellers to save the money they would have spent on a real estate agent’s commission and for this reason, more and more property owners are choosing to pursue an FSBO transaction.

If you are contemplating selling your home or commercial property without a realtor’s assistance, it is critical that you do not jeopardize your long-term financial health for short-term gain. Real estate transactions are intricate and require a comprehensive understanding of contract and real estate law, Florida’s real estate statutes and the transaction process itself. Retaining a real estate attorney experienced with FSBO transactions will ensure that the FSBO contract you sign protects you today and in the years ahead.

Selling your property without the benefit of a real estate attorney can be risky from a time and cost perspective. At the Law Office of Kimberly A. Abrams & Associates, P.A., and its subsidiary title company, Evolution Title & Closing Services, LLC, in Hollywood – Fort Lauderdale, Florida, we have the knowledge and experience to assist our FSBO clients in selling their properties and increasing their profits.
