Many people don't know that I am originally from New Mexico. When I tell them, they say, "Wow, I've never met anyone from there!" which is better than what they said 20 years ago, which was, "can you drink the water there??" 😬

Anyone else here from the Land of Enchantment?? 🌶

20 year real estate attorney here in Bradenton….

In my experience, it pays to have the contract reviewed prior to signing. Most often, the builder will not agree to many changes; however, in a market climate such as ours today, I am seeing small concessions here and there.

Because the builders refuse to make changes, my efforts are to explain to the client what they are signing up for; what the obligations, rights, responsibilities, and expectations, of both sides are.

HOW TO READ A SURVEY: I'm often asked whether a survey is "OK" or "acceptable" for a real estate transaction. The real question should be: is the buyer purchasing the land they contracted to buy?
Title insurance covers a plethora of title defects, but one of the most obvious is the property boundaries. I love this visual because it directs your attention to all of the parts of the survey that matter.
It's not just lines and arrows. This is someone's property! Do the boundary lines close (even if not in a perfect rectangle?) Are there encroachments i.e. anything going over the boundaries or coming into the boundaries? Does the legal description match the contract?

If you have survey questions, call us! 941-704-4049

Remember to get the deed signed after your divorce is final! We have a file in our office in which the final divorce decree approved the parties' agreement that the wife would get the house. Only problem is, the divorce lawyers never prepared the deed (or better yet, referred them to a real estate attorney!) Ten years later and the husband can't be found, and is presumed DEAD...and the wife has a serious title problem...

A divorce decree orders the transfer but doesn't change the title. The property stays in both names until a new deed is recorded.

A fence is not a property line.
It’s a physical object, not a legal determination.

Fences are built for containment, convenience, or history, not to establish ownership. They often predate current deeds, shift over time, or were installed without any survey involvement at all. Treating a fence as a boundary is how small assumptions turn into expensive disputes.

Anyone can build a fence.
Only a survey can establish where ownership legally begins and ends.

Survey or fence line questions?

Thinking of Buying a Home? Don’t Get Stuck with Someone Else’s Debt!

We’ve seen it too many times — a buyer closes on a home, only to find out after the sale that there’s a lien on the property. Suddenly, your new home comes with someone else’s unpaid debt.

Here’s how to avoid that nightmare:
Get a thorough title search before closing
Work with a reputable real estate attorney

A real estate attorney can spot red flags early and help ensure your closing is clean and secure. That’s what we do every day at Golm Law Firm.

Before you buy, protect your future.
