An earnest money deposit is a sign of good faith when a buyer commits to purchasing a property. It is typically held in escrow until closing and can represent thousands—or even hundreds of thousands—of dollars.
Disputes arise when:
Because Florida law and contract terms dictate who is entitled to the deposit, every detail matters. Attorney Carlos M. Amor examines the contract language, timelines, escrow agreements, and correspondence to determine the rightful owner of the funds.
Whenever possible, we resolve these disputes through negotiation to save time and costs. But if litigation is necessary to protect your deposit—or ensure you retain it—we will fight for you in court.
Florida law requires sellers to disclose any known material defects that could affect a property’s value or safety. Unfortunately, some defects only come to light after the contract is signed or even after closing.
Common undisclosed defects include:
For buyers, these issues can lead to massive unexpected repair costs and diminished property value. Attorney Amor investigates the defect’s history, determines whether the seller knew about it, and pursues legal remedies such as:
For sellers wrongly accused of concealing defects, we work to prove full disclosure or that the defect arose after the sale.
These cases often require expert inspections, detailed document review, and strategic legal arguments—exactly the type of work we handle daily.
A “marketable” title is one free of legal defects, liens, or claims that could prevent a buyer from obtaining clear ownership. Delivering marketable title is a standard obligation in most Florida real estate contracts.
Common title-related problems include:
When a seller cannot deliver marketable title by closing, the buyer may be entitled to cancel the deal, reclaim their earnest money deposit, and seek damages.
Attorney Amor identifies the title defect, determines if it can be cured, and takes the necessary steps to protect your interests. Sometimes this involves quick negotiation with lienholders or corrective legal filings. In other cases, litigation may be required to secure your rights.
Whether you are a buyer, seller, or investor, the earlier you involve an attorney, the more options you have to resolve the dispute successfully.

Mediation involves a neutral third party who works with both sides to reach an agreement. While it is non-binding, it can be faster and less expensive than going to trial.
Immediately. Waiting can result in waived rights, missed deadlines, or weakened negotiating positions.
Not all, but many do. Your contract should state whether mediation or arbitration is required.
Yes. Having an attorney review your contract before signing can help identify vague terms or risky clauses that might lead to problems later.
