Residential

Buying or selling a home is a contract. Treat it like one.

For most people, a home is the largest transaction of their lives, and it's governed by a stack of documents most agents have never been trained to question. I buy and sell homes across South Florida with an attorney's eye on every page.

For Buyers

Win the house without inheriting its problems

South Florida moves fast, and buyers get pushed to waive protections just to compete. I'll help you write an offer that's aggressive where it should be and airtight where it must be.

  • Offers that compete intelligently. Strong terms, clean timelines, and only the concessions your deal can actually afford.
  • Contingencies that protect you. Inspection, financing, and appraisal terms structured so your deposit isn't hostage to bad luck. See how I structure contracts.
  • Condo and HOA diligence. Association budgets, assessments, estoppels, and approval requirements reviewed before you're locked in.
  • A vetted team. Lenders, inspectors, and title companies I trust, so your weekends aren't spent auditioning strangers.

Pricing & preparation

A pricing strategy grounded in comparable sales and current absorption, plus preparation that earns its cost back.

Marketing & exposure

Professional presentation and full market exposure, including my own network of buyers, agents, and investors.

Offer vetting

Every offer stress-tested for financing strength, timeline risk, and terms that hide costs behind an attractive price.

Contract to close

Counteroffers, addenda, and deadlines managed so the deal you accepted is the deal that closes.

For Sellers

The best offer isn't always the highest number

An offer is a package of price, financing, timing, and escape hatches. I read the whole package, so you pick the buyer who will actually make it to closing on your terms.

Questions

Residential FAQs

Do I really need an attorney involved when buying a home in Florida?
Florida doesn't require one, and that's exactly why most buyers never have a lawyer look at the biggest contract of their lives. Working with me, you don't have to choose. Your agent already reads the deal the way an attorney does, and if standalone legal work becomes necessary, Scheer Legal can be engaged separately.
I'm selling. What do you actually do differently from other listing agents?
The marketing side is table stakes: pricing strategy, presentation, exposure, negotiation. The difference is what happens once an offer lands. I read every term, not just the price, and I structure counteroffers, contingencies, and timelines so you stay protected all the way to the closing table.
Can you help with condos and HOA properties?
Yes, and this is where deals most often go sideways. Association approval, estoppel letters, special assessments, milestone inspections, and reserve studies can all change what a condo is really worth. I dig into those documents before you commit, not after.
What if my deal falls apart?
A well-drafted contract decides what happens next: who keeps the deposit, who pays what, and how you exit cleanly. That's precisely why having contract skill on your side of the table from day one matters.
