Important Legal Notice
Commercial Advisory Group, Powered by Real Brokerage, LLC (hereafter referred to as “CAG”) is a licensed commercial real estate brokerage operating exclusively under Florida law. CAG provides commercial brokerage and advisory services only and does not offer legal, tax, financial, or investment advice. Potential buyers or investors are strongly advised to seek independent legal, financial, and tax advice from appropriately licensed professionals in the State of Florida before engaging in any real estate transaction.
Buyer Acknowledgment and Risk Disclosure
Welcome to Commercial Advisory Group, Powered by Real Brokerage, LLC. Purchasing foreclosed or tax deeded commercial real estate in Florida presents unique investment opportunities, but it also involves significant risks that each buyer must evaluate independently.
By accessing CAG’s services or proceeding with the purchase of any foreclosed or tax deeded commercial property in Florida, the Buyer acknowledges, understands, and agrees to the following disclosures and disclaimers, which are intended to comply with Florida law and protect all parties involved.
1. Property Condition (As-Is Sale)
Foreclosed and tax deeded properties in Florida are sold strictly “as-is,” without warranties or representations regarding condition, habitability, zoning status, or compliance with Florida building codes. Buyers are solely responsible for conducting all inspections, environmental assessments (including Phase I or Phase II when applicable), and due diligence. CAG disclaims any responsibility for defects, repairs, renovations, or improvements required after closing.
2. Title and Liens
Purchasing foreclosure or tax deed properties may involve outstanding liens, judgments, or claims that survive foreclosure under Florida law. Buyers must perform comprehensive title searches and obtain title insurance to verify ownership rights and identify encumbrances. CAG does not guarantee title clearance, lien extinguishment, or marketable title.
3. Legal and Financial Advice
Due to the complexity of Florida foreclosure statutes (Chapter 702, Florida Statutes), tax deed procedures (Chapter 197, Florida Statutes), and commercial real estate regulations, Buyers are strongly encouraged to retain Florida-licensed attorneys, certified public accountants, and financial advisors. CAG is not authorized to provide legal, tax, or financial advice.
4. Financing Considerations
Financing for foreclosed or tax deed properties may differ substantially from conventional commercial real estate transactions and often requires cash purchases or specialized financing within strict timelines. Buyers are responsible for securing appropriate funding. CAG assumes no liability for loan denials, appraisal discrepancies, or financing delays.
5. Florida Foreclosure Process Specifics
Buyers must independently understand Florida’s judicial foreclosure process, redemption rights, clerk-conducted sales, title issuance, post-sale possession, and eviction procedures. Compliance with all applicable Florida statutes and post-closing obligations is the sole responsibility of the Buyer.
6. Risks and Limitations
Buyers acknowledge and accept all risks associated with foreclosed or tax deeded properties, including but not limited to environmental hazards, zoning changes, tenant disputes, unresolved code violations, or pending litigation. CAG may rely on third-party public data and disclaims responsibility for accuracy or completeness of such information.
7. Limited Role and No Fiduciary Duty
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, CAG acts solely as a transaction broker pursuant to Florida Statute §475.278. No fiduciary duties beyond the statutory minimum apply in the absence of a single-agent or no-brokerage relationship.
8. Indemnification and Hold Harmless
The Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Commercial Advisory Group harmless from all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from property condition, title issues, liens, transaction outcomes, or reliance on disclosed information.
9. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
This disclosure and all related transactions are governed exclusively by the laws of the State of Florida. Any disputes arising from or related to these disclosures shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Hillsborough County, Florida, which shall have exclusive jurisdiction.
Acknowledgment
By proceeding with any transaction or engagement involving foreclosed or tax deeded commercial properties through Commercial Advisory Group, the Buyer expressly acknowledges, understands, and accepts the disclosures and limitations set forth above in accordance with Florida law and commercial real estate best practices.
