Dirt (dert)
n. (1) The thing you buy to help you build wealth. (2) The real value underlying real estate investment. (3) Goals.

Did you purchase a home only to discover hidden defects the seller failed to disclose? Were you misled about the condition of the property before closing? Or are you a seller facing claims that you concealed material defects? Florida law requires sellers to disclose known issues that materially affect the property’s value, and failure to do so can lead to a lawsuit.
Need to transfer property to a family member, business entity, or trust? Are you correcting an error in a deed, such as a misspelled name or incorrect legal description? Or do you need to remove or add someone to the title? A properly drafted and recorded deed is essential to ensuring a smooth and legally valid transfer of ownership.
Is one owner refusing to sell while another wants out? Are you dealing with an inherited property where the heirs can’t agree on what to do? Or is a former spouse or business partner blocking a fair resolution? A partition action may be necessary to force the sale or division of the property and resolve the dispute.
Is a tenant refusing to pay rent or violating lease terms? Do you need to remove an unauthorized occupant who has no legal right to the property? Has a former owner refused to leave after a foreclosure or tax deed sale? Or is a commercial tenant breaching their lease but refusing to vacate? An eviction or ejectment action may be necessary to regain possession of your property and enforce your rights.
Have an old or improper deed, missing heirs, or unresolved liens? Was the property acquired through a tax deed, a foreclosure, or inheritance, and ownership needs to be confirmed? Or do you have a dispute over boundary lines, easements, or an adverse possession claim? A Quiet Title Action might be what you need to file to settle the issue.
Dirt. It’s rough, it’s grimy, but let’s be honest:
It’s what everyone is really after. The idea of owning a piece of earth—something that is all yours and only yours. There’s something really special about that. And we help you get there. Whether it’s residential or commercial—whether it’s your dream home or just another flip, short term or long term acquisition–we help you navigate the contract and closing process.
