Law Insights

According to Espino Law, a real estate deal is rarely ever “simple.” Even straightforward cash transactions can become complicated over details that are easily overlooked.

Missed Deadlines: Contract timelines (inspection, financing, closing) are strict. Missing one can mean losing deposits or defaulting.

Inspection Surprises: Issues uncovered late (roof, structure, mold) can stall or kill deals.

Florida Condo Requirements: New laws require milestone inspections, structural integrity reserve studies (SIRS), and updated disclosures. Underfunded reserves can mean significant assessments.

Failure To Follow Contract Terms: Notice and document requirements must be strictly followed. Small missteps can shift leverage.

Title & Survey Issues: Easements, encroachments, or liens can delay closing or limit use.

The best way to ensure a deal is “simple” is to anticipate the problems and tackle them from the start.
