Protecting The Rights Of Landlords, Tenants, Buyers And Sellers Of Real Estate
Perhaps the largest financial transactions you will make in your lifetime involve real estate. Whether you are buying, selling or renting, you are putting a lot on the table. Each step along the way includes a new aspect of state or federal law, another contract or agreement to sign and another opportunity for your anxiety level to increase.
The attorneys at Burandt, Adamski, Feichthaler & Sanchez, PLLC, have assisted thousands of Florida residents through complex real estate transactions. We look forward to assisting you.

What Does A Real Estate Attorney Do?
When you think of buying or selling property, you likely think of a real estate broker. But what about a real estate attorney? We understand that the role of a lawyer in real estate might not be as clear. We are here to clarify how our attorneys can support you, whether you’re dealing with residential or commercial properties in Florida.
We can assist in three major ways: facilitating transactions, protecting your interests in real estate disputes and addressing property-related regulatory hurdles.
Facilitating Transactions
A real estate attorney can play a crucial role in facilitating the process of buying or selling property. Here are some of the ways we can help:
- Negotiating agreements: We handle contract negotiations to protect your interests and help you secure a favorable deal.
- Drafting documents: Accurate and legally binding documents are crucial in any real estate transaction. Our team is skilled in drafting all necessary documents that meet legal standards and protect your interests.
- Identifying legal issues: Our attorneys are trained to spot potential legal pitfalls – such as title problems, encroachments and encumbrances – before they become major issues.
- Overcoming roadblocks: Legal obstacles can swiftly derail a real estate deal. We can tackle challenges like zoning issues, financing challenges and other legal hurdles head-on.
- Securing financing: We can review documents and ensure that all the details of your financial arrangements are in order.
- Ensuring proper titling: We can advise you on the various forms of titling property in Florida and ensure that the title is legally compliant.
- Addressing restrictive covenants: We can identify any covenants attached to the property and negotiate on your behalf to modify or remove unreasonable restrictions.
Protecting Your Property Rights In Real Estate Disputes
Beyond transactions, real estate attorneys are invaluable when disputes arise. We handle conflicts involving:
- Boundary and easement disputes
- Financing disputes
- Lease disputes and evictions
- Property defects
- Contract breaches
- And more
Given the significant property value that may be at stake, having a lawyer by your side can make a significant difference. We will represent your interests vigorously, aiming for resolutions that protect your property rights without unnecessary conflict.
Navigating Real Estate Regulations
A real estate attorney is invaluable for navigating regulatory proceedings involving zoning, conditional use permits and other municipal ordinances that can affect property usage. We can guide you through these complex legal landscapes to help accomplish your real estate goals in full compliance with all applicable local, state and federal regulations. Our proactive approach aims to clear any regulatory hurdles efficiently, allowing you to focus on your real estate investment and development goals.
