Buyers and seller alike should always hire an attorney to represent them and their interests for a real estate closing and real estate transaction. Whether you are buying in Miami Dade County and require the title company to represent you, examine the property title, and prepare a title commitment, or you are a seller of real estate and require not only contract review and revisions, but assistance with document preparation, you must always hire an attorney.

While many states only allow real estate attorneys  to conduct real estate closings, Florida is not one of them. Therefore, many sellers opt to use the title company selected by the buyer in order to represent them. However, that opposing party title company does not represent you. They will charge a fee for document preparation, or settlement services, but at the end of the day, if there is an issue, you are on  your own.

Seller services can include contract preparation, contract review, addendums, inspections negotiations for credits, and a host of different documents required whether the seller is a trust, or a company. There are also issues relating to death of the title holder or liens on the property. 

As a buyer,  the title company will also help with contract preparation or review, run title, run lien searches and prepare closing statements.

While no two real estate transactions are ever alike, no matter whether you are on the seller side or the buyer side, do not go it alone.
