Frequently Asked Questions
Does RNC Legal handle real estate matters throughout Florida?
Yes. Our office is in Fort Lauderdale and we represent buyers, sellers, investors, landlords, and property owners in counties across Florida, including the 25 counties listed on this page. Many real estate matters can be handled by phone, video, and electronic signature, with recording completed in the county where the property sits.
Why does the county matter in a Florida real estate transaction?
Real property records are maintained county by county. Deeds, mortgages, liens, and plats are recorded with the Clerk of the Circuit Court in the county where the property is located, and disputes are generally heard in that county's judicial circuit. Recording requirements, local ordinances, and community-specific rules also vary, which is why we organise our real estate coverage by county.
Is an attorney required to close a real estate deal in Florida?
Florida does not require an attorney at every closing — title companies commonly handle them. Many buyers and sellers still engage counsel to review the contract before signing, examine title and survey exceptions, and address problems before closing. Whether it makes sense for you depends on the transaction; a consultation can help you decide.
