SOUTH FLORIDA
REAL ESTATE LAWYER
An As Is Residential Contract for Sale and Purchase is a binding contract to sell or buy real property in Florida. While different from other types of sale contracts, the AS IS residential contract protects the seller in many aspects. The As Is refers to the fact that the buyer is taking the property as it is, that is, with any defects or problems it has at the time of entering into the As Is contract. The seller is not required to make any repairs, or to make any credits to the buyer for any items of disrepair, open permits, or matters that appear on the property. The buyer is not completely unprotected however.
A well drafted As Is contract allows the buyer to inspect the property and then cancel if the seller is not agreeable to fixing something. So the buyer can still opt out if he does not like what he sees or is getting, without losing his escrow deposit.
As Is contract carry a myriad of legal terms and deadlines that may be confusing or hard to understand for a layperson. And that is where we get involved.
