You don't have to set foot in Florida to buy here. International buyers close remotely all the time. Here's exactly how a remote purchase works — and how we keep it safe.
Digital documents & e-signature
Most of a purchase — offers, contracts, disclosures — is handled by secure electronic signature. You review and sign from anywhere in the world, on your schedule and time zone.
Power of attorney & remote notarization
For closing, Florida allows remote online notarization (RON), and a limited power of attorney can let a trusted party or attorney sign specific closing documents on your behalf. We set this up properly in advance.
Wiring funds safely
Wire fraud is the real risk in remote deals. Always verify wire instructions by phone using a known number before sending — never trust instructions that change by email. A reputable title company and an attorney-broker protect you here.
We quarterback the whole thing
As a CIPS and attorney-broker, we coordinate the lender, title company, inspectors, and notary so your remote closing is smooth and secure. See how we help international buyers →
