Problems solved

Challenge, strategy, solution. Real matters, anonymized. All stories

Bay Harbor Islands Owner to confirm facts and client permission

A waterfront condo sale with an association right of first refusal

Challenge
The building's association held a right of first refusal, which meant the sale could not close until the association formally waived or exercised it. Buyers get nervous when a timeline has a step nobody controls.
Strategy
Build the contract timeline around the association's review window, deliver a complete package to the association early, and keep the buyer informed about exactly where the process stood.
Solution
The ROFR process was handled as a planned step in the transaction rather than a surprise at the end.
North Miami Owner to confirm facts and client permission

A lot purchase where the title review mattered more than the price

Challenge
A nonprofit buyer was purchasing a lot for a specific future use. The price was agreed; the risk was hidden in the record.
Strategy
Review the title commitment line by line against the buyer's intended use before the buyer was fully committed.
Solution
A restrictive covenant affecting the property was identified during review and brought to the buyer and counsel to resolve before closing.
North Miami Owner to confirm facts and client permission

Bridging a price gap with terms instead of a lower number

Challenge
The buyer wanted the site but did not want to tie up all of its capital at once. The seller was focused on price.
Strategy
Keep the price the seller needed and change the terms: a meaningful down payment, interest-only seller financing, and a short balloon.
Solution
The seller received a proposal that protected the headline price, while the buyer preserved liquidity. Every deal is an ecosystem.
