Mortgage Advice for South Florida Commercial Lenders and Borrowers
If you need advice about initiating and executing foreclosure proceedings against nonresidential real property, our attorneys can guide you through each stage of the process. We understand the value of prompt service, efficiency and attention to detail in the liquidation of commercial real estate claims.
We can also help you make sound decisions and avoid mistakes with respect to such considerations as carrying costs of OREO property, insurance and maintenance obligations after foreclosure, performance of current lease obligations, marketing strategies after recovery of the property, short-term rentals, and recovering deficiencies against the borrower or a guarantor after resale of the property.
As well as handling straight foreclosure actions, we also help plaintiffs and defendants alike deal with troubled mortgage situations related to broader disputes. In our experience, mortgage terms and foreclosure proceedings can relate to any of a number of other civil disputes:
- Default in the terms of the sale or purchase of a business
- Allegations of fraud, misrepresentation or nondisclosure in a real estate transaction
- Defaults in the performance of a Florida contract for deed or other owner-financed real estate transaction
- Mortgage litigation initiated by a successor bank after the original lender's failure
- Deficiency claims against principals or guarantors of corporate or partnership debt
- Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings
- Mortgage problems related to property owned by a trust or decedent's estate
- Lender liability claims related to mortgage terms, waivers or problems in a broader lender-borrower relationship
Our experience with business financing under Article 9 of the UCC also allows us to represent lender or borrower interests effectively when mortgage foreclosure proceedings are part of a wider secured lending relationship.
