Selling Your Home in Golden Beach: What You Need to Know

If you’re thinking about selling your home in Golden Beach, you’re not just selling property — you’re selling prestige, privacy, and one of Florida’s most sought-after addresses. Golden Beach, nestled between Sunny Isles and Hallandale, is home to waterfront estates, celebrity residents, and private beaches. Every transaction here demands precision, discretion, and experienced legal guidance.

At Salcines Law, we’ve spent more than 26 years helping Florida homeowners close with confidence. Here’s what every Golden Beach seller should know before listing their property.

  1. Start With a Pre-Listing Legal Review

Before you list, have your real estate attorney conduct a title search. Even the most pristine estate can have hidden issues — a prior lien, easement, or trust document that needs updating. Clearing these before your buyer’s attorney reviews title saves time, reduces stress, and keeps your closing on schedule.

  1. Understand Florida’s Disclosure Laws

Florida requires sellers to disclose any known defects or conditions that could affect a home’s value. This includes roof leaks, seawall damage, past flooding, or structural repairs. A thorough review with your attorney ensures your disclosure statement is accurate and protects you from future legal claims.

  1. Plan for FIRPTA if You’re a Foreign Seller

Golden Beach attracts many international homeowners. If you’re a foreign national, the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA) may require withholding a portion of your sale proceeds at closing. Our firm coordinates FIRPTA compliance and IRS reporting so you’re not left with unexpected tax complications after closing.

  1. Coordinate With Your Realtor and Attorney Early

Luxury sales often involve multiple professionals — agents, financial advisors, and attorneys. Coordination is key. At Salcines Law, we work hand-in-hand with your realtor to review offers, negotiate terms, and ensure every addendum protects your interests. From the first showing to the final wire, we make sure you Never Close Alone.

  1. Protect Your Proceeds

Your closing documents should be reviewed by an attorney — not just a title agent. We verify that payoff amounts, commissions, and prorations are correct, ensuring your funds are safely wired and your sale proceeds are fully protected.

Experience Matters in Golden Beach

Selling luxury real estate here isn’t just about finding a buyer. It’s about protecting your legacy. At Salcines Law, every closing is attorney-led, supported by our in-house title, escrow, and tax team. We deliver peace of mind, precision, and personal attention — because luxury service isn’t optional. It’s our standard.
