Real Estate Law

Experienced Real Estate Attorneys in Florida

Real estate has been at the heart of our practice since the beginning, and GBKW’s real estate attorneys continue to be leaders in all aspects of real property law. With decades of combined experience—including a Florida Bar Board Certified Real Estate Lawyer—our team represents buyers, sellers, lenders, and developers in transactions, closings, and litigation across Florida.

Transactions & Closings

We handle commercial, agricultural, acreage, industrial, and residential real estate matters from start to finish. Our attorneys regularly serve as closing agent, lender’s counsel, seller’s counsel, and buyer’s counsel. We are authorized title agents in Florida for First American Title Insurance Company, Old Republic Title Insurance Company, and other national title insurers.

Our closing and transactional services include:

• Purchase, sale, and financing of residential, commercial, and mixed-use properties
  
  
• Real estate development, subdivision, and condominium conversions
  
  
• Assisted living facilities, nursing home, and timberland acquisitions and sales
  
  
• Commercial and residential leasing
  
  
• Title searches, deeds, tax deeds, and title insurance services
  
  
• § 1031 like-kind exchanges
  
  
• Loan workouts, modifications, and forbearance agreements
  
  

At every closing, an attorney is present to review documents, explain terms, and answer questions. Our approach emphasizes quality over quantity—providing careful attention to detail and the assurance of experienced legal guidance at every step.
