SUMMARY:From Contract to Closing: Avoid the Pitfalls That Kill Deals
DESCRIPTION:Every real estate transaction has potential trouble spots\, but many closing delays begin with issues that could have been identified much earlier.Join Southwest Florida real estate attorney Sam J. Saad III for a practical\, transaction-focused class exploring the legal and title problems that can interrupt a deal between contract and closing. Agents will learn how to spot warning signs\, ask better questions at the beginning of a transaction and involve the appropriate professionals before a manageable issue becomes a last-minute emergency.The class will examine concerns such as unclear ownership\, title defects\, liens\, estates\, trusts\, business entities\, powers of attorney and situations in which the person negotiating or signing may not have the legal authority to bind the property owner. It will also address communication\, documentation and coordination practices that can help agents keep customers informed and transactions moving forward.This is not intended to train agents to provide legal opinions or perform title examinations. Instead\, attendees will gain a stronger understanding of common transaction risks\, when to escalate a concern and how early preparation can reduce surprises at closing.Whether you are newer to real estate or have managed hundreds of transactions\, you will leave with practical questions\, warning signs and preventive strategies you can use on your next deal.By the end of the class\, attendees should be better prepared to:Identify transaction red flags before they become closing emergenciesDetermine when ownership or signing authority requires further verificationRecognize common title issues that may affect timing or marketabilityUnderstand why trusts\, estates\, companies and powers of attorney require additional documentationGather critical information earlier in the transactionCommunicate more effectively with attorneys\, title professionals\, lenders and customersAvoid statements or actions that could cross into legal adviceUse a practical checklist to reduce preventable delaysKnow when an issue should be escalated to a qualified professionalSam J.
