Let Us Help You Protect Your Interests During the Closing Process
The process of finalizing a real estate transaction, known as closing, marks the legal transfer of property ownership. This step involves a thorough review and signing of legal documents, so buyers, sellers, and lenders benefit from knowledgeable legal counsel.

Commercial Lease Negotiations & Structuring Agreements
Commercial real estate leases in Palm Beach County include unique elements because of the region’s fast-changing business landscape and diverse mix of new and established buildings. Landlords often require customized agreements that define responsibility for improvements, maintenance, and insurance. Tenants look for clarity in renewal rights, rent increases, and permitted uses.
As a commercial real estate attorney in Palm Beach County, our team helps clients address these negotiations with an in-depth understanding of local market dynamics and evolving county codes. We review key documents and identify common risks such as hurricane repairs, property accessibility, and area business tax requirements, which helps both property owners and tenants protect their interests in every transaction.
When you work with our team, you access attorneys known for high professional standards, transparent communication, and hands-on guidance during sensitive deal points. We keep close attention on local landlord-tenant regulations, including the effects of zoning changes in high-growth areas like downtown West Palm Beach and Boca Raton. This regional focus leads to well-documented agreements and smoother transitions for new or expanding businesses.
Resolving Disputes in Commercial Real Estate Transactions
Disputes can arise during or after a commercial real estate transaction, including disagreements over contract terms, repairs, or property boundaries and zoning. The diverse commercial landscape of Palm Beach County means these disputes may involve mixed-use, retail, or industrial properties. When issues develop, Revah Law utilizes a strong background in negotiation and litigation to guide clients through practical options without unnecessary delays.
We help clarify contract obligations, evaluate possible outcomes under local ordinances, and support clients in discussions with opposing parties. Our attorneys have presented cases before local courts and dispute boards in Palm Beach County. We communicate at every step and focus on solutions that help minimize cost and reduce disruption.
Because regulations and practices can vary between municipalities, we tailor our approach based on specific city rules and development priorities. This adaptability, alongside our dedication to ethical service and careful case preparation, brings value to clients dealing with complex real estate disputes.
Are Seller Disclosures Required in Florida?
Florida law does not require sellers to complete a formal disclosure form. However, sellers must disclose any known property defects. Buyers should conduct due diligence and get a property inspection.
If you are involved in a real estate transaction, you need to understand the details of seller disclosures in Florida. While no formal forms are required, noting any material defects—verbally or in writing—can significantly affect negotiations and closing schedules.
Our attorneys provide clear guidance for sellers to offer necessary disclosures and help prevent legal issues later. Buyers receive recommendations on thorough inspections and how undisclosed defects could affect a transaction.
Considerations When Buying & Selling Waterfront Properties
Palm Beach features a large number of highly sought-after waterfront properties.
If you plan to buy or sell a waterfront home or business, consider the following important points:
- Waterfront property regulations. Docks, seawalls, and permits may all affect your transaction. Explore limits on dock size or boat type. Zoning rules can also affect how you use or modify your waterfront property.
- Inspections and insurance requirements. Standard inspections matter, but for waterfront properties, plan for specialized inspections of seawalls, bulkheads, and potential flood risks. These may also affect your insurance. If you buy such a property, include flood insurance costs in your plans.
- Wildlife concerns. Many buyers consider weather but may overlook the impact of local wildlife. Waterfront locations may bring more pests and sometimes larger animals, which can require special inspections and, if you purchase, updated pest control.
- Riparian rights. These rights, granted to those who own property along navigable waters, may allow activities like swimming, fishing, or dock construction. The scope depends on the waterway’s history and local usage. Buyers should conduct a careful title search and legal review to clarify these rights. Sellers should share any known limitations up front to prevent disputes at closing.
If you buy or sell waterfront property in Palm Beach, seasonal factors such as tides, hurricanes, or erosion may impact long-term property plans. Our legal team helps clients evaluate these elements and also provides guidance on community rules about waterfront use to help avoid legal issues and protect investments.
In Palm Beach County, properties on the Intracoastal Waterway or along the Atlantic coastline may have additional local ordinances that influence construction timing and what activities are permitted. Projects in these areas must also account for updates from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and reviews by city boards regarding new shoreline development. We help clients navigate these requirements, reducing unexpected delays and regulatory challenges in closings.
Key Local Regulations for Real Estate Transactions
In Palm Beach County, knowing the local regulatory landscape is vital to the success of any real estate transaction. Zoning laws determine how property can be used and developed. At Revah Law, we help clients work through complex zoning processes to ensure their projects follow the rules. Building codes also apply to all renovations and new construction. Every city may have different codes, and our attorneys provide clear guidance on these differences.
Palm Beach County also has strict environmental rules for development, especially for properties near the coast. Some regulations limit construction materials and methods to protect natural habitats. At Revah Law, we help clients see how these environmental factors shape each project and provide advice that supports development goals while meeting requirements. Our focus on local ordinances helps keep our clients in compliance and protects their interests.
Development boards in Palm Beach cities such as West Palm Beach and Boca Raton meet regularly to rule on zoning changes and other property issues. Their decisions can affect project schedules, building designs, and occupancy permits. Because we know these local processes, we make it easier for clients to manage applications, avoid common roadblocks, and understand what each city expects. Staying ahead of these procedures also protects property values and helps projects move forward under the county’s evolving regulations.
