Real Estate Financing

At Schecter Law, our Broward real estate attorneys handle transactions across the spectrum of real estate financing, including, construction, conduit, mini- perm and permanent financing. Our Broward real estate lawyers are also involved in the financing for acquisition and sales, leasing, syndication, joint venture, and sale-lease back matters.

It is important to note that commercial real estate financing is usually comprised of at least two separate negotiations. The first is the lender’s commitment letter while the second is concerns all of the loan documents, including the mortgage, mortgage note, construction agreement, development agreement, environmental indemnification, and numerous other contractual agreements. One of the biggest mistakes clients make is failing to have the attorney involved prior to the signing of the commitment letter. Even though the commitment letter states that it is subject to certain other documentation being completed, it is much more difficult to renegotiate the business terms of the financing once the commitment letter is signed. We highly recommend that Schecter Law be involved early on in the commitment process to protect our clients’ interests.

The terms of the financing are at least as important as the terms of the acquisition. We use our years of experience to assist the Client in obtaining loan documents from the lender that fully protect the interests of our clients.

We at Schecter Law are proud that we have been recognized with the highest AV rating by Martindale-Hubbell. What makes this highest rating even more significant is that it is voted upon by our peers.
