Florida seller pays doc stamps

Unlike many states, Florida custom places doc stamps on the deed on the seller. This is $0.70 per $100 of sale price.

HOA estoppel required

Florida law requires sellers in HOA communities to obtain an estoppel letter confirming HOA dues are current. Fees vary by association.

Negotiate commission

Agent commission is always negotiable. At Pure Equity Realty, we offer competitive rates — ask us for details.
