Hello all,
Can someone refer me to a good commercial real estate attorney in brevard county fl? also is it common to pay said attorney a percentage of the deal once it is closed? or is it more likely they will want an hourly consultation fee (plus the percentage of the deal)
i am looking at a commercial property in a strip mall, although i will run the numbers; i would feel more comfortable with an attorney looking at said deal to confirm that i am not being overly optimistic.

Most CRE attorneys charge hourly or agree to some type of range on fees depending on the deal type. It depends on how much work is involved and what types of issues have to be addressed.

I always go to Paul Dieguez at Dieguez & Stoller for anything real estate related over here in Brevard. They can also handle closing / title, escrow etc. He's a great dude!
It wouldn't let me include his phone number in the post, but pm me and I will give it to you.

Commercial attorneys depending on experience level usually charge in the 200's to 300's on average per hour. For a typical retail center transaction I see costs of about 10,000 to 15,000 unless lot's of issues found then can go over 20k in some cases. It all varies property by property and situation by situation.

How often do you see flat fee? I get asked a lot to offer flat fee, but it feels too risky if there is significant hair on the deal only discovered later on. Would an attorney that offered $15k flat fee be attractive?
Sorry to hijack, but I am a FL attorney if you need more recommendations!

Mitch Goldman in Cocoa FL is a good commercial RE attorney with a lot of local banking and policital contacts. Good guy to know and he can refer you to someone if he’s not the right expert for what you’re looking to do.
