Helping home buyers and sellers

From first offers to final signatures, RAM Law and Title, PLLC guides Coral Gables buyers and sellers through contract terms, inspection periods, financing contingencies, repair credits, and walk-through issues. We translate legal language into clear choices, negotiate fair adjustments, and coordinate with lenders, real estate agents, and condo boards so your deal stays on track anywhere across South Florida. When a question touches broader property issues, I connect you with real estate law support for seamless counsel from contract to closing.

Contract-to-closing support

We stay with you at every stage: contract review and addenda, title search and examination, lien payoffs, estoppels, settlement statements, escrow management, and attorney-supervised signings. With integrated title services and coordinated real estate closings, you’ll know what’s next and who’s handling it, so you can plan your move with confidence.

Condos, HOAs, and the approval that can kill a deal

Condo purchases in Coral Gables often hinge on association approvals, special assessments, and use restrictions. We review declarations and bylaws, confirm fees and reserves, and flag rules affecting renovations, rentals, or pets, common pain points for condo buildings across South Florida.

Guidance for first-time buyers

Buying your first home is a big step. We explain each document, align deadlines, and keep communication tight with your agent and lender so you’re never guessing about the next task or timeline.

Wire fraud is the reason we call you.

Wire instructions in a closing are a target, and first-time buyers are the ones criminals go after. We verify every instruction by phone, against a number we already have, and we will never send you new wire instructions by email. If you get an email changing the wire, it is not from us. Call the office.

Protecting sellers

We evaluate offers, clean up title issues, craft addenda, and confirm accurate payoffs and prorations so you close smoothly and on time. If a dispute threatens your sale, I am ready to protect your interests in Miami-Dade courts.

Common questions

Do I need a residential real estate lawyer in Coral Gables to buy a home?

It isn’t legally required, but it protects you. We review the contract terms, contingency deadlines, condo/HOA documents, title issues, and the closing statement so your purchase stays on track.

What does a home purchase attorney in Florida review before closing?

We examine the inspection and financing contingencies, title and survey, condo/HOA estoppels, seller disclosures, and addenda, then negotiate repairs, credits, or extensions to keep you set up for a smooth closing.

Who chooses the title company or closing agent in Miami-Dade?

It’s negotiable and usually addressed in the contract. We help you weigh the costs and benefits, and when our in-house title company handles closing, you get attorney oversight and integrated guidance under one roof.

Can you handle a remote or mail-away residential closing?

Yes. We coordinate secure wires, e-signatures where allowed, and remote online notarization when it applies, so your Coral Gables condo or South Miami home can close without travel.

What if a title issue appears right before closing?

We identify the defect and clear liens or recording errors, or adjust the contract timeline if needed. If a dispute escalates, our litigation experience lets us pivot quickly to protect your deal.
