No, Riverview real estate closings do not require an attorney in accordance with Florida law. However, due to the huge amount of money involved, the numerous complexities brought by the involvement of real estate agents, lenders, and home appraisers, and meticulous procedures such as title searches, home inspections, and loan approvals, the best interests of buyers and sellers are best protected by the services of a real estate lawyer.

The seller and buyer are responsible for real estate closing expenses in Riverview, as they pay different costs. The buyer is responsible for paying the fees associated with the mortgage and the home inspection costs. The seller, on the other hand, is responsible for the taxes and commissions of the real estate agents.

Riverview buyers pay real estate closing costs at an estimated average of 2.58 percent of the home price, with a possible range between 2.5 to 3.5 percent. For a typical Florida home that costs an average of $225,000, the closing cost may be approximately $5,800. Buyers should expect to pay the upper part of the range. Some expenses, such as survey costs, are variable, and the price of the home, particularly in a competitive market, could be less than predictable.

Yes, a Riverview real estate buyer can sue their seller after closing if their newly bought home suffers from problems they failed to disclose. These may include those affecting plumbing, air conditioning systems, and roofing; health hazards such as mold and drywall issues; property taxes; housing regulations; and the presence of sinkholes or pests. Sometimes, several parties, including the Realtors, appraisers, and brokers, may be jointly responsible for such problems if they did not disclose them.

Details about Riverview properties that real estate sellers are not required to disclose include the following:

• if someone passed away on the property;
• if a crime was committed inside the property’s premises;
• if a previous occupant had AIDS or tested positive for HIV. In addition, sellers are not required by state law to search for property defects on the buyer's behalf.
