Before Your Money Goes Hard
What gets scrutinized
- Reservation & purchase agreements. Your rescission window, deposit schedule, and what the developer can change without asking you.
- Developer track record. Delivered projects, past delays, and how earlier buyers actually fared.
- Deposit protection. Where your money sits, under what escrow terms, and what Florida law does and doesn't guarantee.
- Delivery risk. Completion timelines, financing contingencies on the project itself, and your options if the calendar slips.
- The exit. Assignment rights and resale restrictions, in case your plans change before the building tops off.
Developer contracts are legal documents first and marketing second. When yours needs attorney review, Scheer Legal handles it as a separate engagement. More on contracts.
