FLORIDA REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION RESOURCES
Practical Forms for Florida Real Estate Transactions
Access commonly requested addenda, disclosures and closing resources for Florida real estate professionals and their clients.
These materials are provided as general resources. Every transaction is different, and a form should be reviewed carefully before it is added to a contract or presented for signature.
A CONVENIENT PROFESSIONAL RESOURCE
More Than a List of Downloads
Real estate transactions often require additional written provisions, disclosures or instructions beyond the standard purchase contract.
This library organizes commonly requested documents by subject so real estate professionals can locate available resources more quickly.
The forms are not intended to replace brokerage-approved documents, standard Florida Realtors® or Florida Bar forms, or independent legal advice.

Understand the Difference Between Process Guidance and Legal Advice
The Closing Agent may explain whether a document or information item is required for our title, escrow or settlement process.
We cannot advise a buyer, seller or real estate professional about which contractual language best protects a party’s legal interests.
Questions involving contract drafting, interpretation, cancellation, default, compensation, legal rights or transaction-specific risk should be directed to an attorney.
SEPARATE LEGAL SUPPORT
Legal Services Are Provided Separately
The Closing Agent is a title insurance agency and settlement company, not a law firm.
When legal assistance is needed, we may help facilitate an introduction to Barry Miller Law, a separate Florida law firm with which we work regularly, or the consumer may choose another attorney.
Legal services are provided under a separate engagement and attorney-client relationship.

Using Real Estate Addenda and Forms
May I modify one of these forms?
Forms should not be changed casually. Altering language may create unintended obligations or conflict with the purchase contract. Material revisions should be reviewed by the brokerage and independent legal counsel.
Does downloading a form create an attorney-client relationship?
No. Accessing, reviewing or using a document does not create an attorney-client relationship with The Closing Agent, Barry Miller Law or any attorney.
Are these forms guaranteed to be legally sufficient?
No. These are general resources and may not be complete, current or appropriate for every transaction or circumstance.
Can The Closing Agent tell me which addendum to use?
The Closing Agent may identify documents required for its title, escrow or settlement process. It cannot provide legal advice regarding which contract provision best protects a party.
Can my brokerage require different forms?
Yes. Real estate professionals should follow brokerage policies, approved forms and supervisory requirements.
Are these standard Florida contract forms?
Unless expressly identified otherwise, these are supplemental resources and are not replacements for forms approved by Florida Realtors® or The Florida Bar.
